What could be a better match than a
festival that celebrates arts and crafts and their connection to the
land, combined with a fun train ride that saves lots of environmental
pollution? The picturesque town of Atlanta, Indiana presents an annual festival
that celebrates the works of individual artists and artisans and their
connection to a healthy earth. Atlanta New Earth Festival. This
town of 800+ residents hosts 80,000 visitors at the annual fest that
features more than 600 individual artists and food vendors.
VENDORS - We do not run the festival! We only run the trains to the
festival. For vendor information please call the Atlanta town hall at
(765) 292 2626.
Think Parking! With this influx of visitors,
you can see that parking for the New Earth Festival might be distant
from the fun. The Indiana Transportation Museum has the
solution with this train. Arrive in
air-conditioned comfort right in the center of all the activities as
seen in the photo at the bottom of this page! The Indiana Transportation Museum provides
round-trip transportation to the New Earth Festival.
No Reservations! Reservations are not needed but are available, so you can wait
until the last minute to realize you just can't pass up this festival.
The train departs from the Indiana Transportation Museum in Noblesville's
Forest Park and transports passengers directly to the center of Atlanta
and the festival.
Schedule: The Museum's trains make five round-trips each day
of this two-day event, see the schedule at left.
Caboose Rides: Also, if not everyone in your family is a
true shopper and the spouse and kids want more than just food, just
cross Main Street. There you will find an
additional ITM locomotive attached to several historic cabooses. For a
slight charge, you can experience a train ride as freight crews rode -
in the caboose. The New Earth
Festival Caboose Trains will travel north to Tipton County Road
450 South, a mile and a half, and then return to the New Earth
Festival.
Shoppers' Friend: When you find your heart's desire among the
arts and crafts, purchase it and bring it back on the train. All but
the very largest of items can be carried on board passenger coaches. If
it will fit in your car, it will fit in our train!
