Check their website. It says they currently have a special large Pompeii exhibition open.

I saw the U-Boat back in the late 1950s during a trip to Chicago with my parents. I was 7 or 8.

uboat complete exhibit change
Last time I saw the U boat it was still outside. They have build an indoor exhibit now that looks like a U boat "pen" where they were kept safe from allied bombers between missions at sea. I really need to get up there again to see all the new exhibits.
There was a 1 hour OGR Meeting at the 2022 March Meet on the Saturday of the Meet.
Has an OGR Meeting been scheduled for the 2023 March Meet ?

They did a excellent job on the U 505 exhibit take your time going through it plenty of information.
Don't forget the Pioneer Zephyr spend the time to watch video and enjoy the train as it rocks like its moving. Have a great time everyone.
YES IS OGR MEET IN THE PLANS
@roll_the_dice posted:You asked wrong (unless she knew). You should have said..."honey, want to go to Chicago for our Anniversary?? " We could hit the sites and sounds of Chicago, (mumble train show--or wait until you got there) and say Oh my goodness, there is a train show this weekend...I should stop by for a few minutes (hours). HAHA Fortunately, my anniversary does not fall that weekend!
No such luck. She went with me last year and I represented Sunset at the show, so my days were pretty full.
Hoping next year falls on a different weekend. It was one of the best shows I've been to and wish I had come prepared to purchase more.
