SUMMARY:Live at Lanier Speaker Series: A Trip Through Yesteryear with Carol Browning
DESCRIPTION:This event will be at Lanier Library \nSeries will detail: When you step into the Pullman Sleeper near the Landrum Train Depot you enter the 70 feet where passengers in ten sleeping berths once clattered from Charleston to Cincinatti with stops in-between. You’ll find only one berth now to imagine stretching out and rocking to sleep. The rest is devoted to tracing Landrum history from pre-colonial days to the coming of the rails. You can also send a message to yourself from a replica telegraph. \nCarol Browning\, Landrum Rail & History Museum Board\, will share how the railroad impacted the overall dynamics and economics of Landrum and Tryon and\, on a smaller historical scale\, why this particular railcar was named Pacolet River and who killed a sheriff on opening day of the route. There will also be the story of how the museum came to be and the railcar got from a collector in Nashville to 211 North Trade Avenue. \n*Audience size for Lanier Library programs has been steadily increasing. Comfortable capacity is 50. Reserve your seat for the program at Lanier Library- 72 Chestnut Street using the link below. \nRegister Here!
