The annual holiday Trees and Trains display returns today.

The Burchfield Homestead and Naragon Law Office's annual Trains and Trees display opens for the season today. The train and tree displays will be open from 1 to 5 p.m. today and Sunday at the Naragon Law Office at 248 E. State St. and the Burchfield Homestead at 867 E. Fourth St., respectively. For the train display enter the office through the rear door located on Sugar Tree Alley.

Burchfield Homestead Society President Sara Baer said that the train display includes selections from Attorney Frederick Naragon's lifetime collection and features multiple gauges and landscapes.

The tree display, which Baer said featured "a dozen trees," all of which will be beautifully decorated in the style of Charles Ephraim Burchfield's paintings, will continue to be available for viewings Saturdays from 1 to 4 p.m. until Dec. 23.

A $3 donation per person covers entry to both venues, with children 10 and under entering free. Baer said that the donations can be dropped off at either venue and that visitors can start at whichever display they prefer. Baer also said that visitors can split their visit up across the weekend, visiting one display each day if they want to.

All proceeds benefit the Burchfield Homestead Society. For information visit burchfieldhomestead.com or 330-717-0092.

Starting at /week.
