The Huntington Holiday Train will continue at the main library through Jan. 8.
The train was built in 1992 by Paul Busse, who also designed th. The original home of the Holiday Train was the Huntington Bank Downtown.
Busse designed the buildings after real churches, homes and stores in Bavarian towns in Germany and constructed them all of natural materials including bark, leaves, seeds, pinecones and moss. There’s a castle, a cathedral and a waterfall. He created miniature townspeople, vendors and children who gather and watch the trains pass by.
“It’s assembled a little different every year and it’s magic every year,” said Ben Zenitsky, media specialist for the library.When my adult daughters were little, one of our holiday traditions was visiting “Weasel Burrow” at the main library. Created in 1990 by design students at Columbus College of Art & Design, the charming diorama has stood the test of time.
