Celebrating local talent from years ago - author Gertrude Chandler Warner

There is the cutest little railroad car in Putnam, sitting on the cutest little piece of track - sitting on the other side of the tracks from our downtown dining/restaurant/happening area.

It is the Gertrude Chandler Warner Museum.


The museum is located in this boxcar in Putnam, simply because:
1) Gertrude was born in Putnam in 1890.
2) She wrote a children's book series, called The Boxcar Children Mysteries.

 If you have kids, and like to go on little adventures with them, I would recommend taking a ride to Putnam and checking out this cute little museum, The Gertrude Chandler Warner Museum.

While you are in town, there is also a nice River Walk to enjoy and a bookstore (Wonderland Books), too!

See you soon...
I am a Putnamaniac because we have a children's author to honor with a cool little museum!
