About this Event

Don't Miss The Right of Way!

Metro Archives presents The Right of Way: How Our Rivers, Rails, and Roads Transported American Democracy. Join us for a free afternoon of history as our speakers guide you down the roads, rails, and waterways that helped shape our nation. Explore how the history of transportation helped pave the way for American democracy, civic participation, and everyday life. Hear from local experts, including Elliott Robinson, Betsy Thorpe, and others, as they explore different chapters of our transportation history.

The event will be held at the Main Library on Church Street in the Special Collections Center on the second floor. The program will be available both in person and via livestream. In-person attendees will enjoy light refreshments and receive a commemorative keepsake from the event.
