The Boston and Maine Railroad Through Exeter: Mainline Transportation

Join us for an enlightening presentation by Dave Saums as we delve into the pivotal role the Boston & Maine Railroad (B&M) played in shaping Exeter and the surrounding areas. 🚂✨

In the 1800s, the arrival of railroads revolutionized transportation, allowing farmers and businesses to reach wider markets and facilitating the quick delivery of mail, news, and products – even B&M Baked Beans from Portland! 🍽️📦 As rail travel expanded across New England, towns like Exeter flourished, with the B&M expanding rapidly through new routes and acquisitions.

This event not only covers the historical context but also sheds light on current developments under the new ownership of CSX Transportation.

🗓️ Date: October 10 17:00 - 19:00
📍 Location: 9 Front St, Exeter, NH 03833-2705, United States
