  • Exhibit Overview
    Exhibit Overview Exhibit Summary All aboard to explore! Shrill whistles and the unmistakable clatter of wheels rolling over rails float across the pastoral landscape. Friendly chatter fills the air. It is a unique land that has held a special place in the hearts and imaginations of children for generations. Welcome to the Island of Sodor! In Thomas & Friends: Explore the Rails children explore and interact with the familiar faces and sights from HIT Entertainment’s popular series. Designed for children 2 through 7 (and their adult caregivers) the exhibit combines exciting play opportunities with important concepts in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM), and an emphasis on developing 21st century skills. These ideas are woven and layered throughout the exhibit, creating an experience that speaks to a diversity of interests, age groups, and learning styles. As they travel through the space, children help Thomas and his friends solve a variety of challenges. These interactive opportunities range from simple sorting and shape identification to more complicated engineering obstacles. As children confront new challenges and test their skills, the smiling faces of Thomas, Percy, and others are there to offer encouragement and remind children of how “useful” we all are. 6 Rationale “Lying in bed as a child I would hear a heavy goods train coming in and stopping at Box Station…There was no doubt in my mind that steam engines all had definite personalities. I would hear them snorting up the grade and little imagination was needed to hear in the puffings and pantings of the two engines the conversations they were having with one another: "I can't do it! I can't do it!" "Yes you can! Yes you can!" -Rev.

  • Thomas and Friends Fun Facts
    75 FUN FACTS ABOUT THOMAS & FRIENDS History/General Facts: 1. Thomas & Friends is based on the books, ‘The Railway Series’ by the Reverend Wilbert Awdry, first published in May 1945. 2. The oriGinal Thomas & Friends stories were created when Awdry’s son, Christopher, fell ill with measles. 3. The first three enGines created by the Reverend Awdry were named Edward, Gordon and Henry. 4. The first book, ‘The Three Railway EnGines’, proved very popular and over 55,000 copies were sold in the first year. 5. Thomas is first introduced as a character in 1946 in the second book of the series, “Thomas the Tank EnGine”. 6. Reverend Awdry was inspired by the Isle of Man to develop the Island of Sodor based on the island’s history. a. The Island of Sodor lies between the Isle of Man and Barrow-in-Furness and is connected to mainland EnGland by the Vicarstown bridGe. 7. In 1972, the Reverend Awdry retired from writinG children’s fiction. By that time, he’d published 26 books containinG 105 stories, with ‘Tramway EnGines’ being his last railway adventure. 8. A chance encounter with an engine driver presented Christopher Awdry an opportunity to continue the series. The train driver’s tales of an ill-fated train rescue inspired Christopher to turn this into a “Thomas” story for his son, Richard. Christopher then went on to create three more tales which became Book 27 ‘Really Useful EnGines’. 9. The characters on Sodor are larGely based on real classes of locomotives, and some of the railways themselves are directly based on upon real lines in the British Isles.

  • The Spectacle
    National Park Service Arlington House U.S. Department of the Interior The Robert E. Lee Memorial The Spectacle From the Office Down the Hall Retiring from the Field When Robert E. Lee resigned from the army in 1861, he left a 32-year career behind. A lot has been made of the reasons he resigned, the political impacts of his decision and most of all, the role he played in the South after his retirement. In fact, these things have so captured the stage of his life that the work and contributions of his previous three decades have faded almost wholly into the shadowed, flat background. But when Lee retired, who do you think knew the most about the foundations of Fortress Monroe? If not for Lee, Saint Louis might not be a river city today. And what about Chapultepec where, according to General Winfield Scott, Lee “performed the greatest feat of physical and moral courage performed by any individual in my knowledge…”? There is a good reason Lee was being offered Arlington House command of the army before he resigned. In many ways he was at the peak of his career like jewels on black velvet. Fireflies wove a to the chagrin of her division chiefs—to gain not as he watched opposing friends square glittering pattern on the warm summer air friends for the park and protect Parkway off on the hills around Gettysburg, but rather and she said, “it is really beautiful—I had to resources.
