Transcontinental rail road ties to the Capital District
Poestenkill Historical Society Members we are pleased to announce our speaker for Tuesday, November 26th, at 7:00PM will be Michael Barrett, Executive Director of the Hudson Mohawk Industrial Gateway Burden Iron Works Museum. In 1869 completion of what was then the largest infrastructure project in American history turned the United States into a true continental power and opened the development of our “Wild West”. Many of the personalities who were prime movers in the project had ties to the Capital District, and our local industrial base provided a number of the necessary parts that made the project possible. Michael is a wealth of information and we know you will enjoy his presentation. We meet at the Town Hall meeting room; refreshments will be served.
