| March 16, 2012 | 8:00 PM | The Pullman Company | GWNMM-Alexandria, VA | Pullman is a name that's of haunting familiarity to many of us. What was it? The Pullman Company was founded and built by George M. Pullman into an empire that was synonymous with first class rail travel for decades in the United States. At its peak in the 1930's, the Company operated over 8,000 railroad passenger cars across North America. Mr. Kevin Tankersley will provide an overview of the Pullman Company, and talk about how the Chapter interprets and presents the Pullman experience by operating Dover Harbor today. Free and open to the public! |
