Grant Funk Railroad is worth the short trip to Owens Cross Roads

Looking for something neat to see this afternoon or evening, check out Grant Funk Railroad. It’s a garden railroad and pond in a backyard in the Hampton Ridge neighborhood. Located at 4502 Clyde Circle, SE, Owens Cross Roads, AL, the railroad is all decked out for Halloween. It will be open Saturday 10/14 and Sunday 10/15 from 4-8, and it is free. You can find information about it on Facebook by clicking here.

We will have a story about this unique garden railroad in the Nov. issue of Madison Living Magazine. Until then, here are a few fun photos of the layout.
