The Winfield Historical Society and Museum is inviting the public to take a trip back in time with a special program highlighting the history of the railroads that helped shape the region.
The event, titled “Ride Through the History of the Rails,” will feature guest speaker Ron Graber, who will share stories and historical insights about the rail lines that once served the Winfield area.
The presentation will take place Sunday, March 15th at 2 p.m. at the Winfield Community Veterans Building in Winfield.
Organizers say the program will explore the history of railroads such as the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy (CB&Q) and the Minneapolis and St. Louis Railway (M&StL) and their impact on the community. Attendees who have photographs, articles, or memorabilia related to those railroads are encouraged to bring them along to share with others.
A free will donation will be accepted, and refreshments will be served following the program.
The event is open to the public and is intended to bring together local history enthusiasts and community members interested in learning more about Winfield’s railroad heritage.
