A Brief History of Transportation in the United States

Join us as we welcome back to the History Center- Transportation Historian, Jim Grey. Jim gives an overview of transportation in the U.S. as we explore how Americans moved across the landscape from the years before the nation’s founding through the modern era.
Discover how Native trails became early travel routes, how canals and railroads opened new opportunities for settlement and commerce, how the automobile transformed everyday life, and how paved roads changed the way we travel.
Program is included with the cost of admission or free for members of OLLI and the History Center.
