Learn about railways' influence on history
Volunteer Millers of de Immigrant Windmill will be hosting a program about the influence of railways on American history.
Illinois is the nation's railroad crossroads. They dramatically shaped the state's economy and communities; while creating an industry with a cultural allure. The speeding locomotives became icons of population growth and corporate America. Historian, Mike Matejka, will outline the influence the railways displayed. This program is supported by the Illinois Humanities Road Scholar program.
Come out on Monday, March 31 at 6:00 p.m. in the Windmill Cultural Center at 111- 10th Avenue Fulton. Light refreshments will be served following the presentation.
