You are invited as a member of the Chicago & North Western or Union Pacific Historical Societies to meet in Omaha from June 4-7, 2015 to attend a historic joint annual convention. This will be the first time both Societies have combined forces to put on great presentations for all to enjoy.
The convention will be jam-packed with events for members and their spouses. Plans include presentations, tours, swap meet, model train tours, silent auction, photo and model contests and the opportunity to purchase a variety of products from both the C&NWHS and UPHS company stores. There is even a rare, limited opportunity to visit Bill Wimmer’s railroad museum. Check the latest convention timetable for details of the events.
What’s more, don’t leave your spouse at home! Special women’s tour and several presentations have been planned for the ladies. Check here for a guide to all the women’s events.
