School Groups

Take your students on a trip back in time in a unique opportunity for teachers to make history, math, or science class both memorable and fun. For many years now, students have been able to study our historic steam locomotive and the importance of the East Tennessee & Western North Carolina Railroad (ET&WNC) in their school textbooks.

With the "Learning Express", your students can do more than read about it - they can experience it first hand! The end result is a history, math, or science lesson your students will never forget.

In 2010, the "Learning Express" will be offered April 30, May 7, 14, 21 and 28, and every Friday after Labor Day through October 29, 2010.

Tweetsie Railroad will again partner with Letterland on Tuesday, Wednesday & Thursday, May 11, 12 & 13, 2010.Letterland is a child friendly phonics program, using a multi-sensory approach that combines phonics and storytelling.  We are happy to be a part of the world of Letterland. Contact our Group Sales Office for more information.
