5. Railroads Tamed the West Exhibit. Railroads that Tamed the West will explore 19th Century America, when the West offered seemingly limitless bounty; gold, silver, land and immeasurable opportunity. In 1869 one of the greatest building achievements in history allowed a means of getting there, the Transcontinental Railway. Travel on the primitive railway was dangerous and often deadly. Bandits, renegades and hostile tribes threatened every trip. Thousands of miles of new track needed to be laid through untamed wilderness which would eventually open the West to commerce and civilization. Come explore the comprehensive history of the Western railroads! East Cobb Senior Center, 3332 Sandy Plains Rd. Registration required. 10 a.m. – 11:30 a.m. For more information call 770-509-4900 or click http://seniors.cobbcountyga.gov/facility_1_events.htm
