Lunch and Learn: Trains to the National Parks

Thursday March 19th @ 12:15 pm via zoom

The first National Parks were nearly impossible to reach: paths to the parks required a hardy spirit willing to traverse rough land by foot, horse, or stagecoach. Meanwhile, travel to Europe was more convenient, affordable, and in style. Join a ranger as we explore clever campaigns that challenged citizens to See America First by train, and where Pullman fits into it all. Free. No reservation required.
