Help Keep the Tootsie Express on Track!

Heartland Forest is launching a special fundraiser to support much-needed upgrades to the beloved Tootsie Express Train Station. Our goal is to retrofit and fully enclose the station, ensuring a safe, accessible, and weather-protected space for both the train and the carts.

The Tootsie Express is more than just a train ride — it's a cherished experience for visitors of all ages and abilities. From school groups and families to community members and campers, this iconic activity brings joy and connection to thousands each year.

With your support, we can keep the Tootsie Express safe and secure by enclosing the train station — protecting the train and equipment from weather damage and vandalism, and ensuring this much-loved train stays on track for many years to come.

Fundraising Goal: $2,500

Thank you for your generosity and support.
