| The
Museum Committee is pleased to announce a new exhibit scheduled to be on
display at the Goodsell Museum from November 23, 2007 through October
31, 2008. This exhibit will feature photographs of railroad passenger
stations, sidings, and flag stops in the Town of Webb and neighboring
communities. The photos will show evidence of services such as water
towers, bunk houses, and tool houses.
The exhibit will also contain maps and information of many of the railroads through the Town of Webb area including the early Peg Leg Railroad, Adirondack and St. Lawrence, Fulton Chain Railroad, Raquette Lake Railway and industrial railroads. In addition, artifacts on loan and from our own collection will be used to create a view of what the interior of a train station may have looked like. Other artifacts on display will include signs, spikes, date nails, trunks, lanterns, New York Central china, books, locks, tickets and timetables. Interactive exhibits will include a lighted map and telegraph key. |
