The annual picnic for Amherst members and families will be held on Saturday, September 19 from 11:00 am to 3:00 pm on our property in Palmer, Massachusetts. We often say we work together, we play together. Well, this is a day to play together.

The picnic is a great opportunity to enjoy our garden railroad and the HO-scale railroads in our clubhouse. And we will have plenty of picnic foods and drinks as well.

The picnic is also a big Thank You to everyone in the organization that contributes time and effort to our success. The Amherst Railway Society is recognized throughout the country as one of the premier railroad hobby organizations. And that recognition is the direct result of the skills, experience, and energy of our members. 

The Amherst Picnic is open to all active Amherst Railway Society members and their immediate family members. A separate invitation will be sent with RSVP instructions. We need an attendance count to order the correct amount of picnic supplies.
