RFC 86th Annual Train Garden

We’re thrilled to provide our very own Twelve Days of Christmas as we present the City of Light!
This year, in order to ensure the safety of our visitors and Train Garden family, we will be operating an outdoor, socially-distanced Train Garden.
We’re asking visitors to please wear a mask and maintain distancing when in line to view our display, and to please have patience with us and with one another as we work through this season.
The Train Garden will operate ONLY on Friday and Saturday nights, and late Sunday afternoons, with special openings on Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve. Operations will be weather dependent, with rain dates as necessary. Please check back here daily from December 5th onward to ensure our operations and opening.

The RFC Train Garden has been a Cambridge Christmas Tradition for nearly nine decades! Each December, we operate daily, providing new memories and rekindling old ones for the people of Cambridge, and for visitors from around the globe.
This year's theme, The City of Light, is designed to brighten an otherwise dreary 2020. Though our display is smaller this year, we're proud to be able to open and provide joy during our 2020 Christmas Season.
The Train Garden features miniature towns, cities, farms, forests, factories and highways, all decked out in holiday revelry, and crisscrossed by model trains. The display portrays both the familiar and the fanciful, with fun, humorous vignettes sprinkled into the display to add to the memories.
Since 1934, members of Rescue Fire Company have been operating a holiday train display for the community, carrying on a tradition that began in the Baltimore area. Though the train garden tradition remains strong in the Baltimore area, our peers from the 1930s and 1940s are gone. The RFC Train Garden is the longest continually operating fire department train display in the United States.
Today, the Rescue Fire Company Train Garden remains in the same home it has always occupied, the "Old Firehouse" at 307 Gay St., the gateway to Downtown Cambridge. We take pride in bringing the people of Cambridge, Dorchester County, and the Midshore together each Christmas. Whether you're new to the area, or an old friend of the Train Garden, come see us this December!
Join us for an hour or two, take in the sites, and enjoy our unique Christmas tradition. Enjoy our famous popcorn, some peanuts, and a soda or coffee. And, this year, two new treats will be added to our offerings, sure to satisfy the sweet tooth of our visitors, young or old.
