Transportation From Here to There: A Brief History

Current Exhibit
January 9 – April 10, 2023
Monday - Friday
8:00 a.m. - 4:30 p.m.

People are always on the move and have always found ingenious, inventive ways of getting where they want to go.  Our latest exhibit features some of our more modern material, printed from the 1800s to the 1970s, as we examine the history of transportation from horse-drawn carriages to horse-less carriages and from bicycles to trains.  Although we specialize in older materials, we have several interesting, more modern sources that are guaranteed to take you back in time to the not-so-distant past.
