Evansville Museum Transportation Center
Have you been to the Evansville Museum lately? Have you walked over to the Transportation Center? I tend to think of it as the Train Museum, but it is a lot more than that. It has river travel & roadway vehicles, including the Charles Covert bright red fire truck (about 1902)!
Today's plaque is featuring the Train Committee's "Circle of Remembrance" for a dream that came true... 1967-1999! [Please click on photos for enlarged view.]
This nice sign is on the outside of the building.
This is outside in back of the building. Very nicely similar to a passenger railroad depot.

When did they add the train portion?
ReplyDeleteAccording to the plaque, it was dedicated in april of 1999. It has been around for sometime, now. Becky & I have visited about 3 times over the last 8 years or so. It is a cool exhibit that includes several old vehicles. It has a cool model train display that is a model of Evansville and the trains go around the city. Evan would love it!
