Attention, steam fans!

This season, our Climax geared locomotive will be “moving people by steam” daily through August 23 and again over Labor Day weekend, September 5, 6, and 7.

As planned, from August 24 through September 4—and on weekends this fall—our General Electric diesel locomotive will take over on the main line.

We are mighty proud of our Climax locomotive, but she deserves a break! Built in 1921 in Corry, Pennsylvania, she is one of only about four Climax locomotives still operating in the world today. Just imagine—she is more than 100 years old and can still outrun the Wolfman! 🚂

Thirteen years ago, longtime Clark’s employee Sarah brought her young niece, Abby, for a visit. Today, Abby—now a Clark’s employee herself—welcomed her aunt back!
Over the years, many of our employees have shared family connections—from grandparents, parents, and children, to siblings, aunts/uncles/cousins, and spouses—some of whom even met at Clark’s!

Celebrating the Avery Sisters on National Sisters Day

Happy National Sisters Day! Today, we lovingly remember four remarkable sisters: Joyce, Betty, Barbara, and Clarice Avery.

As young women, Joyce and Barbara worked as girl guides at Ed Clark’s Eskimo Sled Dog Ranch during the 1930s and 1940s. They later married second-generation Clark brothers Edward M. Clark and W. Murray Clark, respectively. Clarice worked at the soda fountain and candy counter in the Trading Post gift shop, while Betty waited tables at the Deer Park Hotel.

Joyce and Barbara devoted their working lives to the Trading Post at Clark’s. Exceptionally dedicated and hardworking, they gave tirelessly to both their families and the family business. Their strong work ethic, determination, and devotion helped shape Clark’s Bears into the special place it is today.

Although Joyce, Betty, Barbara, and Clarice are no longer with us, their love, influence, and spirit remain an enduring part of the Clark family and Clark’s Bears. The Avery Sisters Pavilion is proudly dedicated to these four wonderful sisters, whose legacy will always be remembered with love and gratitude.

All aboard the White Mountain Central Railroad at Clark’s Bears! We’re heading out to load up with wood before continuing our journey. Over the course of the day, our steam locomotive will burn about a half cord of wood and use approximately 500 gallons of water. Steam on!
