When you pull back into the station you'll find an assortment of antique railroad equipment. Remember your trip with souvenirs from the CKS Railroad gift shop. The train pulls out of the station every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday from 10 to 4:30, May through October,

Host of the public links championship, 1993, 1995, and 1999, Royal Hylands Golf Club demands mastery of the short game to overcome tough approach shots. Golfers throughout Indiana and western Ohio have discovered Royal Hylands is a great course you'll enjoy playing again and again.
