Held open houses at our layout for the general public,, a special one aimed at Model Railroaders, one for the local historical society, and one for the Boston and Maine Railroad Historical Society. By doing this we educated the public on railroad operations and the critical role railroads play in our history and commerce. It also provided opportunity to expose young people to the engaging and education hobby of model railroading. 0 25562 We held our annual Railfair, which has been held in excess of fifty years, at a local hotel, with an attendance of over 1200 people. This provided a venue for a number of model railroad clubs to set up model railroad modules advancing the public's understanding of the railroad's place in the history and heritage of our area as well as learning how modern railroading contributes to our economy and how goods, services and passengers are safely and efficiently moved over our national transportation network. Approximately a third of the attendees were children, who learned about a valuable hobby requiring a wide variety of skills, many STEM related. 0 9990 Conducted presentations at six model railroad shows using the Association's portable display module, test track, and other displays. By the use of our portable demonstration module, we gave members of the public, both adults and children the opportunity to operate trains on this display. In addition to simulating how real railroads operate, it gave the public the opportunity to learn about the latest technology in computer control through a specific application to model railroading. In addition, we introduced the public to the family hobby of model railroading. 0 1175 Helped the Shirley Historical Society create a presentation on the development of the railroad in the early days of the town.
