What makes summer feel like summer?
Should you ask us, it might sound like train whistles echoing through Kempton, families climbing aboard for the first time, a glass raised with friends, and a surprise announcement waiting at the end of the platform.
This year, June at WK&S Railroad is packed with experiences that each brings something completely different to the tracks. Whether your family loves hands-on fun, your idea of a perfect evening includes wine and cheese, or you simply enjoy making memories close to home, we think this lineup deserves a spot on your calendar.
And stay with us until the end because we saved something special for July!
🚂 Touch a Train Family Fun Days, June 20 and 21
The Event Kids Talk About All Summer
Check out all the details about Touch a Train Family Fun Days
There’s something magical that happens when children stop looking at trains and start experiencing them. Touch a Train Family Fun Days is built for curiosity. Instead of simply watching from the sidelines, families get opportunities to get closer to the railroad experience and enjoy a day that feels active, memorable, and made for all ages.
This is one of those events grandparents love sharing with grandchildren. Parents love that kids stay engaged. Kids love that trains suddenly become something they can explore instead of just observing.
📸 Bring your camera.
👟 Bring comfortable shoes.
🚂✨ Bring someone who lights up when they hear, “All aboard!”
🗓️⭐ Should there be one event this month to circle first, this is the one.
🎟️⏰ Reserve tickets early because family-focused events tend to fill quickly.
🧀🍷 Liberty Celebration Wine and Cheese Train, June 26
A Summer Evening With Something New This Year
Now let’s switch gears.
Picture a relaxing train ride paired with your favorite wine from the wine tasting portion of our event, conversation, and a little celebration of summer. This year’s Liberty Celebration Wine and Cheese experience brings something new to the tracks with a new winery joining the event lineup, making this year especially exciting for returning guests.
This is the kind of evening that works beautifully for date nights, groups of friends, girls’ night out, celebrations, or simply giving yourself permission to slow down for a few hours.
Historic railroad charm plus wine and cheese? That sounds like summer done right!
🎟️ Seats for our wine and cheese trains can disappear quickly, so this one is worth ordering your seats now. Check out all the details.
🎖️ Wait for It… Here’s the July Surprise
No fireworks announcement.
No giant July Fourth event.
But something even more meaningful. For July 5th, 12th and 26th, Veterans ride FREE. That means throughout July, WK&S Railroad is saying thank you in a simple and heartfelt way. We’ll treat them to a FREE hot dog, too!
If you know a veteran who loves trains, history, family outings, or simply getting out for a day together, this is a wonderful reason to plan a visit.
Sometimes the best summer memories are the ones that slow us down enough to appreciate them.
