Join us for five nights of programming from the History Consortium on one of America’s favorite subjects, railroads.
During the heyday of the iron furnaces, the horse drawn wagons were the vital tool for transporting the finished product to a railroad depot for shipment. However, if you were fortunate enough to have a railroad depot close by, you were ahead of the game. Join Mike Marotte of the Franklin County Historical Society, Chambersburg, Pennsylvania, who will feature Franklin County's history of a few iron furnaces that were quite prosperous due to proximity of the rail line.
This program is sponsored and presented by the Franklin County Historical Society, Chambersburg, Pennsylvania.
