ABOUT US

The Gibsonville Garden Railroad (GGRR) was founded in 1996 by Bobby Summers, a retired Freight Conductor on the Southern Railroad. Our first trains ran on October 9, 1996 which coincides with the first train arriving at Gibson Station on October 9, 1855. Our buildings are arranged to represent Gibsonville in 1855 and 1922, so the Town Historic Walking Tour map can be used to understand our layout. We cover all of North Carolina from Blowing Rock and Pilot Mountain to Cape Hatteras Lighthouse. We include dioramas for Elon Homes, Elon College, Company Shops (Burlington), gold mine, and tar making. You can see both Orville and Wilbur Wright flying and cable cars too. Come ride on our playground train anytime.
