YORKLYN, DE (June 2012) – TheMarshall Steam Museum will be adding some "steam" to the regular summer heat at its public Steamin' Day on Sunday, July 1, from 12:30 to 4:30 p.m.

Visitors of all ages can enjoy rides on the 1/8-size coal-fired trains of the Auburn Valley Railroad or in select historic automobiles, including a 1916 Rauch & Lang electric car that returned to operation this spring after mechanical restoration work. The 1897 Marshall Mansion will be open for tours, and entry to the Marshall Steam Museum (home to the world's largest operating collection of Stanley steam cars, plus two 1930s Packards) is included with all admission options. All will be treated to fresh (and free!) popcorn from a vintage steam-powered popper and a Firing

Up Demonstration to see how a Stanley is set in motion. A working Lionel electric trains display is also sure to delight, along with a hands-on exhibit Under the Hood: How a Stanley Steamer Works and a short film spotlighting Tom Marshall and his extraordinary collection of antique autos.
