The Children’s Museum of Oak Ridge will host its 25th Annual Gala from 5:30 to 8 p.m. Friday, Nov. 20, in the museum's gym. "All Aboard the Silver Line: A 25th Anniversary Gala," is the theme, according to a museum news release. The event is expected to bring together supporters for an evening of entertainment, dining, and auctions benefiting the museum’s educational mission.

Returning to a train theme for the 25th Annual Gala recognizes the enduring connection between the museum and the railroaders and celebrates the World of Trains exhibit that continues to be a favorite among visitors.
