#GivingTuesday - Today
Today is the annual GivingTuesday event and as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, the North Georgia Live Steamers relies on the generosity of our members, visitors, friends, and community partners to keep our railroad thriving. Throughout the year, we participate in several fund-raising efforts—our largest being the public ride days we host multiple times annually. We also proudly take part in the annual #GivingTuesday event, held the first Tuesday after Thanksgiving.
Your donations directly support a wide range of important initiatives, including:
Our dedicated, all-volunteer crew has made tremendous progress on many ongoing projects, but there is still much work to be done. With your support, we can continue to demonstrate a working miniature railroad to the public and share the rich history of American railroading with future generations.
Maintaining and expanding our track and equipment
Developing and improving our new maintenance facility
Preserving and restoring railroad infrastructure
Enhancing the overall experience for guests of all ages

🚂 BIG NEWS, NGLS CREW! 🚂
The final push to finish our clubhouse and workshop is officially underway — and this is where you come in!
We’re launching a series of every‑other‑weekend workdays, giving everyone plenty of chances to jump in, lend a hand, learn something new, and be part of the team that brings this project across the finish line. This is one of the biggest upgrades in our club’s history, and we want as many members as possible to be part of it.
Whether you swing a hammer, paint a wall, move materials, or simply bring good energy — your help matters. Every workday gets us one step closer to celebrating a fully finished clubhouse and workshop at our October Fall Meet… and yes, we’re aiming to have it done this year 😉
Come out, get involved, make memories, and help build something the whole club will enjoy for years to come.
Let’s do this — together.
