America the Beautiful: National Parks & Landmarks by Rail
Set off on a grand adventure across America, from the Statue of Liberty to Tennessee’s own Great Smoky Mountains, all the way to the Golden Gate Bridge. Every structure is a miniature masterpiece of botanical architecture, hand-crafted from natural materials like willow branches, cedar, acorn caps, moss, pinecones, bark and more.
America the Beautiful is a special traveling model train exhibition built by Applied Imagination and located in the Bradford Robertson Color Garden for a limited time. Cheekwood’s permanent TRAINS! exhibit is open year-round so be sure to stop by both for double the train fun!
