Pumpkin Patch Special

Category: Photo Essays Railroads:



One of my favorite yearly events of the LM&;M Railroad are the Pumpkin Patch Express rides. These excursions travel from Lebanon to a farm just outside of Mason. While at the farm there are animals to view, a corn maze to navigate, and cider and apples to purchase. Oh, and a pumpkin patch too.

This also happens to be the longest ride of the year and thus is great for people (like myself) who enjoy the train ride for pure entertainment as well as families. You can view my photos from last year on the post I wrote here.

Now for a limited time students in grades K-12 can earn $3 off their pumpkin patch ticket with a quiz or test in which they earned an A. The full text of the press release is available to read on the other side of the “Read” link.

The splendor of fall awaits passengers as they travel by rail on the Lebanon Mason Monroe (LM&M) Railroad through Warren County in Southwestern, Ohio. Passengers will enjoy the sights, colors and smells of fall on a round-trip scenic train ride to the Schappacher Farm in Mason , Ohio . The train departs from the LM&M Railroad platform on South St. in Lebanon, Ohio.

Formerly known as the Lebanon and Turtlecreek Railway, the Lebanon Mason Monroe Railroad (LM&M) boards passengers at the beautiful Lebanon Station owned by the Lebanon Council of Garden Clubs, in historic downtown Lebanon , Ohio 2 blocks south of the Golden Lamb Inn. The ticket office and gift shop is located across the street at 127 S. Mechanic Street.
