Recent donation to the museum - a printed copy of a celebratory poster commemorating the 427 mile train ride by President Millard Fillmore and part of his Cabinet on May 14, 1851. This was the first train to go through Hornell, 175 years ago.

Poster and background info donated by Guy E. Stuart. Mr. Stuart was Chief Dispatcher on the Erie Railroad in the 1950s, covering New York City to Cleveland, Ohio.
