Those who know me know that one of my favorite activities is visiting model railroads. Believe it or not, I have seen approximately 900 layouts in my lifetime! It’s true, I keep a list. So, it should be no surprise that I always look forward to the annual Piedmont Pilgrimage.

Atlanta and its surrounding area are a hotbed for model railroading. The Piedmont Division, which organizes the Pilgrimage, is one of the largest divisions of the National Model Railroad Association in terms of membership and is also among the most active.

For five consecutive weekends starting Saturday, October 25, model railroaders will have the opportunity to view some of the finest layouts anywhere. Membership in the National Model Railroad Association is not required, although we always welcome new members. Best of all, the Piedmont Pilgrimage is free of charge.

Check our schedule, plan your travel, and join us for another great event. The Piedmont Pilgrimage is a fantastic way to spend a weekend, or perhaps even five weekends!

We look forward to seeing you.
