Annual NHRHTA Train Show and Convention
Dates: Friday, September 11, through Sunday, September 13, 2026
Venue: Holiday Inn, 35 Governor Winthrop Blvd., New London, Connecticut
Admission: Suggested Donation $10.00
We return to the location of last year’s successful Convention - the Holiday Inn in New London, Conn. Just a 10-minute walk from Union Station (which offers regular train service) or the Long Island Ferry. Our venue is convenient for our vendors and offers on-site dining as well as lodging. Most importantly, we have plenty of room to offer more New Haven Railroad memorabilia, presentations, and other NHRR content for you to enjoy!
DISCOUNTED LODGING!
We hope you’ll want to make the Annual Convention into a Full Weekend Event! To help you do that, and based on the success of last year’s Convention, we are pleased to be able to offer a discounted hotel rate of $124/night (K/QQ) for 2026 - significantly lower than last year.
