The GNRHS, NPRHA, and SP&SHS welcome you to the first-ever joint Hill Lines convention! Of course, you don’t have to be a member of a Hill Lines historical society to attend–all railfans are welcome.
Planning is being finalized and updates will be made to this page regularly. In the meantime, registration is open (click the green button above) and well as hotel registration (info below). In addition to Steve Fuller from the NPRHA, Mary McGlothlin represents the GNRHS and Bob Willer represents the SP&SHS.
The host hotel is the Doubletree Hotel St. Paul Downtown (411 Minnesota St., St. Paul, MN, 55101). Rooms are $125/night (convention rate; King bed or two Double beds). Please call the hotel direct to book at 651-291-8800 and use group code 907.
There are several Hill-related historic sites, many with historic markers, in the metro area for self-guided tours. Maps will be provided. The Minnesota History Center has a wealth of information on railroad history and is open to then public Wednesday through Sunday. Visit mnhs.org for details. Self-guided railroad layout tours on the day after the convention (Sunday, September 14) are also a possibility. Stay tuned for details.
