What
happens at the Rendevous?
Historical
encampments are set up, giving you a chance to meet cowboys, buckaroos, mountain
men and women demonstrating what it was like to live in the turn-of-the-century
and Civil War eras. The historical fair brings these eras to life with the smell
of campfires, and the sounds of civil war era cannons, steam train whistles, and
scattered shots from mock gun-fights. Experience period costumes, crafts, tomahawk
throwing lessons, the music of the times and much more.

The
annual Train Song Festival is held at Old Poway Park in Poway, California. The
free event, co-sponsored by the City of Poway and San Diego Folk Heritage, features
live musical entertainment with songs inspired by the railroads. This one-of-a-kind
event brings to life the history of American rails, songs that were inspired by
the freedom to travel, the tragedies and triumphs of the railroad men, and the
adventure of the hobos and other traveling folk, whose lives have been entwined
with the trains.
During the day, in addition to the great train-related music, The Poway Midland
Railroad gives train rides aboard its 1907 Baldwin Steam Engine; The Poway Station
Model Railroad Club displays model trains in Templars Hall; Old Poway Park's western
gun-fighting teams re-enact train robberies; children can have their faces painted,
make train crafts, hear stories and see toy train displays and The Heritage Museum
provides an historical train display.
