We have a working railway here at Eden
Springs Park! Charming and authentic, these original House of David engines and passenger
cars have been lovingly restored by our team of volunteers and train experts. Train rides
are available Memorial Day, Saturday and Sunday ONLY, then July through Labor Day, Saturdays and Sundays only,
from noon to 5:00 pm - $3 per person.
The miniature trains have a long standing
history with the park. House of David colony workers laid the 15 inch gauge track, built
both the gas powered and steam powered engines and ran the park until the early 1970’s.
The whistles from the steam powered trains echoed through the valley until the park was
closed down. The area is rich with history and lore. A volunteer is generally available weekends
to give walking tours through the park on request.
Eden Springs amusement park was established
in 1908 by The Israelite House of David, and attracted visitors by the car load until
closing in the mid -1970’s. The park boasted a zoological park with a bear, lions, monkeys,
birds and more, gold fish ponds, a miniature auto raceway, a bowling alley, outdoor
amphitheater that provided family entertainment throughout the week, an outdoor beer garden,
photo booths, glorious garden displays, and the miniature trains. The trains were so successful
that the first year 70,000 tickets were sold.
The famous House of David baseball teams
played on their home field until the mid-1950's. These semi-pro baseball teams
traveled throughout the United States. They were pioneers of night baseball and first to join
together and compete with the Negro League teams. Home plate has been delineated with a marker
plate and is near the train depot. The present day Eden Springs Park and Campground was
started in the early 50’s and expanded when the ballpark was re-purposed in the mid 1950’s.
