A history of the railroad in the US will be the theme of a special event at the DeWitt County Museum this Sunday.
Joey Long is the Director of the CH Moore Homestead and DeWitt County Museum and indicates Mike Matejka is renowned for his insightful presentations and brings to life the captivating narrative of “What’s Coming Down the Line? The Railroad in the American Mind.”
According to Long, the railroad meant a great deal to Clinton and DeWitt County for generations. She feels this is a good opportunity to see one of the permenant railroad exhibits in the barn of the Museum.
In the museum's display, Long highlights some of the artifacts at the museum for its display including an unloading contraption that a pair of men from DeWitt County came up with but unfortunately, it never caught on in the industry.
The event is free and is Sunday, April 14 at 2 pm in the carriage barn. Long indicates they will have refreshments and juice and coffee. She hopes you'll join the Museum for this program this weekend.
