1941 Centennial Railroad Celebration Room

4/20/2016

3 Comments

 
As part of Gordon Hall Days, June 11th & 12th, we will have a special room inside Gordon Hall to show our collection of items from the 1941 Centennial Celebration of the Railroad’s coming to Dexter.   Judge Samuel Dexter was a proponent of the Railroad and gave much of the land for the railroad to come through Dexter.  We will have many pictures, a 1941 video, and artifacts from the Centennial celebration.  An added feature will be the presence of some community members who were at the celebration.  We have made contact with Robert Mast, Barbara Bradbury Wing, and Jack Blanchard so far, and we hope there will be others willing to share their memories.  That’s young Jack Blanchard in the picture with his parents in 1941.

This was one of the most historical where many of the events had taken place and most of them had been worth of knowing about them. It sure seems to be a good thing when you are highlighting them.
