Transportation From Here to There: A Brief History

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.  This exhibit featured some of our more modern material, printed from the 1800s to the 1970s, as we examined the history of transportation from horse-drawn carriages to horse-less carriages and from bicycles to trains.
