Looking for fun for the whole family this weekend?

For four decades, families have climbed aboard the LM&M Railroad to create lasting memories, celebrate special occasions and experience the magic of rail travel. This weekend the historic railroad will continue that tradition with two family-friendly themed excursions: the Princess Express and the Rootin’ Tootin’ Train Ride.

Departing from downtown Lebanon, the weekend offers children and families the opportunity to step into a fairy tale one day and a Wild West adventure the next, all aboard one of Southwest Ohio's most beloved attractions.

Saturday, June 13: Princess Express

Young princes and princesses are invited to board the Princess Express for an enchanting journey through Warren County filled with beloved storybook characters, music, interactive activities and unforgettable photo opportunities. Guests will meet Cinderella, Ariel, Tiana, Belle, Aurora and Snow White while enjoying a magical train ride featuring sing-alongs, storytelling and special princess-themed entertainment throughout the excursion.

Children are encouraged to dress in their favorite royal attire to become part of the experience. Guests seeking an extra touch of magic can purchase a VIP Magical Makeover package, which includes princess-inspired hairstyling, glitter accents, nail polish and exclusive pre-boarding opportunities.

The Princess Express has become one of LM&M Railroad's most popular annual events, drawing families from throughout Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana who are looking for a unique experience that combines imagination, entertainment and quality family time.

Sunday, June 14: Rootin’ Tootin’ Train Ride

The fun continues June 14 with the Rootin’ Tootin’ Train Ride, a western-themed adventure inspired by everyone's favorite toy cowboys and cowgirls. Families are encouraged to dust off their boots, grab their hats and climb aboard for a lively excursion featuring themed entertainment, interactive activities, games and opportunities to meet western-inspired characters. The ride captures the spirit of friendship, adventure and imagination that has delighted generations of children.

The Rootin’ Tootin’ Train Ride offers families an opportunity to unplug, connect and create memories together while experiencing the nostalgia and charm of historic rail travel.

While themed rides continue to attract new generations of passengers, LM&M Railroad remains focused on its mission of preserving railroad history while creating memorable experiences for families.

Throughout the year, the railroad offers a variety of themed excursions, holiday experiences and special events that attract thousands of visitors to Lebanon and Warren County. From young children experiencing their first train ride to grandparents sharing memories with their grandchildren, LM&M Railroad has become a cherished tradition for families across the region.

This year marks the 40th anniversary of LM&M Railroad, which has welcomed generations of passengers aboard its historic trains since 1986. What began as a local heritage railroad has grown into one of Ohio's premier family attractions, drawing visitors from throughout the Midwest while preserving a unique piece of the region's railroad history.

To commemorate the milestone, LM&M Railroad will celebrate throughout the year with special events, community activities and the highly anticipated Lebanon TrainFest this fall. The anniversary serves as a tribute to the volunteers, staff, supporters and families who have helped keep the railroad's legacy alive for four decades.
