After Walder "Walt" May had been in the old Woodbury home for a while, he started building a fancy railroad museum and puppet show upstairs in the attic.Many grammar school classes came to the home and were let up the steep stairs to the attic. They were excited to see the train museum and the puppet show.
Mr. May has now recreated the RR Museum in his home in Winchester Hills.
