Oops! A Quick Correction

In our last email, there was a typo in the pricing for The Great Northern Railway trip. While we all love a great bargain, the correct price is $114. We apologize for the mix-up and appreciate your understanding — we promise the experience will be worth the full fare!

Great Northern Railway

Experience the beautiful north woods of Wisconsin by taking a scenic train ride and enjoy lunch on the Great Northern Railroad. The historic railroad recreates the atmosphere of rail travel using rebuilt cars from 1912-1918. On the way home, we'll stop at the popular Burnett Dairy Cooperative retail store near Grantsburg.

Tuesday, May 19
7:15 a.m.–5:15 p.m.
