America's 250th Family Celebration at The H&R Caboose Roost

This July, we're celebrating America's 250th birthday with a special surprise for our youngest conductors!

Every child staying at The H&R Caboose Roost during July will receive:

a complimentary Freedom Popsicle and an official America 250 Junior Conductor Certificate! Also, buy one Junior Conductor set and get one free. Sets include a conductor hat, wooden Caboose Roost whistle, and red bandanna—perfect for little railroad adventurers.

After a day of exploring Elephant Rocks, Silver Mines, or simply enjoying the caboose, kids can complete their conductor duties, earn their certificate, and celebrate with a Freedom Popsicle. Whether you're planning a family getaway, introducing the grandkids to the magic of railroading, or looking for a unique summer adventure, July is a great time to visit The H&R Caboose Roost in Fredericktown, Missouri.

The H&R Caboose Roost is a beautifully restored 1958 train caboose in Fredericktown, Missouri. Families can enjoy a one-of-a-kind overnight stay complete with a firepit, yard games, fresh muffins and coffee, and easy access to hiking, swimming and other southeast Missouri adventures.
