Ashland is one of the best train‑watching towns on the East Coast. With 40 to 50 trains passing each day, benches just a few feet from the tracks offer kids an unforgettable, up-close experience.
While you're there, you can stop by Ashland Library, which features a children's area with a train table, check out Tiny Tim's Toy Store with its impressive model train and train toy selection, or grab a bite at Cafe 54 or Ashland Coffee & Tea.
Train‑themed events:
• Ashland Railroad Run- Held in March
• Train Day Celebration- Held in April
• Santa Train Ride- Held after Thanksgiving
