What's New @ The Spike - Claire Saucier
March 21, 2025
Happy St Patrick's Day (belated)! I did start this on March 17th.
Many of you know that we are trying to raise the money to stay in our current location. To help with that, we are going to raise some of our admission prices on May 1, 2025. Between now and then we'll do our best to update all of the websites that carry our pricing information.
EFFECTIVE MAY 1: Adult admission will increase to $10, Family admission will increase to $25, with additional family members increasing to $5 each. We are keeping children's admission prices at $6. We hope this will increase our income without pricing the museum too high. We have a post on Facebook asking for your feedback.
Below you will find the flyer for our annual train show. We hope to see many of you there!
January 2, 2025
Welcome to the new year! As always, Iron Spike will be closed to the public for two weeks. We'll be working to freshen up the museum experience for visitors and restocking the Recycled Railroad shelves with items for sale.
Unfortunately, we are still unable to access our Facebook account so we can't update our business hours, post information, or answer messages received through Messenger. Feel free to email: info@ironspike.org or call: 636-283-5166. If you call you can push 1 to see if anyone is at the museum to speak to you, or zero (0) to leave a message.
Registry for Good
So, you've all heard of a bridal registry? Iron Spike now has a "Registry for Good" courtesy of Walmart.com. It is another way you can show your love and support to your favorite model train museum. We have a registry called "Everyday Essentials." It only contains things we use on a regular basis such as office supplies, batteries for the LEGO display, and coffee for the volunteers. We've kept the list modest and frugal. The great thing is ANYONE can purchase off the list, and the items will be delivered directly to us. Here is the link to our registry landing page. Maybe you will find something on our list that you would like to help out with. Of course, we have also included gift cards to help out with those unexpected or one-time purchase needs.
