Sensory Friendly Hour
Looking for a quiet, calm, and sensory-friendly museum experience? Join us for Sensory Friendly Hour at Lee Hall Depot, a dedicated time designed for individuals and families who prefer a more relaxed, low-stimulation environment.
During this special hour, the museum space is thoughtfully adjusted to support comfort and accessibility. Lights will be dimmed or turned off, noise levels will be kept to a minimum, and sensory-friendly items will be available to borrow. Guests can also enjoy a quiet coloring and reading station, creating a welcoming space to explore at their own pace.
This is not a structured program, but rather a dedicated hour where visitors can experience the museum in a calmer, more comfortable setting.
We welcome anyone who would benefit from a sensory-friendly environment and invite you to enjoy Lee Hall Depot in a way that feels comfortable for you.
Tots & Trains
All aboard for summer fun at Lee Hall Depot! The Tots & Trains Summer Series invites toddlers and their grown-ups to enjoy a morning of stories, creativity, and hands-on fun inspired by trains and adventure.
Each program features a themed storytime, craft, and interactive activity designed especially for children ages 6 and under. This summer’s featured books include The Little Engine That Could, Pete the Cat: Train Trip, and Where Do Steam Trains Sleep at Night? — bringing imagination, movement, and train-themed excitement to every session.
Programs last approximately 45 minutes and provide a fun, engaging way for young children to explore early learning, creativity, and local history in a welcoming museum setting.
Registration: Pre-registration required. Pay-at-the-door admission will only be available if space remains and is not guaranteed.
Guests are also welcome to explore the depot following the program. Regular museum admission applies for self-guided visits outside of the event.
