Depot Museum to hold ‘Polar Express’ reading

Published December 4, 2009

One of the most well-known Christmas stories will come alive on Monday at the Fort Payne Depot Museum.

Fort Payne Depot Board Member Jeremy Dupree will read “The Polar Express” to children at 2 p.m. in the big, red caboose.

“Jeremy has been reading the story at Wills Valley for several years,” Depot Director Ann Houston said. “He has taken his vacation time to go read there and in Gadsden.”

Houston said Dupree chose the story because it would be fitting to tell the story in the red caboose that sits outside the Depot Museum.

“We can get about 10 or 12 in the caboose at a time,” Houston said. “He said if he has a lot of kids that he will do two readings.”
