November 27, 2009, marks the start of the Polar Express, leaving from Duluth. Plan to hop aboard while you are in town staying at our Canal Park lodging. It will help put you in a cheerful holiday frame of mind.

One of the Christmas trees at our Duluth bed and breakfast.

Ride along Lake Superior from Fitger’s Brewery Complex to the Lake Superior Railroad museum, where you will discover a charming antique model railroad. While you marvel over it, enjoy songs from carolers.

Okay, you won’t actually make it to the North Pole. But you will experience a live reading of the Polar Express by actors in costume, and you may visit with Santa if you like.

The 2009 Polar Express runs Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays the weeks of Nov. 27, Dec. 5, 12, & 19. It makes a nice expedition for guests of our Duluth bed and breakfast. When you return to the inn, settle into a comfy sofa in front of one of our Christmas trees and reminisce about your own childhoods and the magic of Christmas.
