Join us for the opening of Whistle Stops: Campaigning by Train.
This focused exhibition combines collections from the Barriger Railroad Library and the Shopmaker Political Collection to reveal the essential role the railroads played in American presidential campaigns. Going beyond the well-known "Dewey Defeats Truman" photographs, this exhibition explores the many ways the railroad industry both supported and was impacted by American elections. Join us for the Curator's Colloquium by exhibition curator Nick Fry. Light refreshments will be served. Tickets: $10 St. Louis Mercantile Library members; $12 non-members. For tickets or information contact Nick Fry at 314-516-7253 or fryn@umsl.edu
