Description
After many years of dedicated work by National Park Service volunteers, interns, and staff Bullard No. 2 has returned to public view. Removed from display to undergo a comprehensive cosmetic restoration, the locomotive’s return marks more than just the completion of a project—it represents the culmination of years of care, skill, and commitment from countless contributors who helped preserve this piece of history for future generations.
The official unveiling on July 5 will include a brief ceremony recognizing the many contributors behind the restoration. The event will give the public a chance to view the completed work and meet some of the individuals who helped make it possible.
