LAST HISTORY HOUNDS SESSION OF 2018
Riding the Rails: 
The Pere Marquette 1225 Locomotive

in the Meijer Education Center at the Historical Society of Michigan, 5815
Executive Dr., Lansing, Michigan

The Pere Marquette 1225 was just one of dozens of "Berkshire"-type steam
locomotives. Most went to the scrapyards, but the 1225 survived as an
outdoor exhibit at Michigan State University. At 7 p.m. on Wednesday,
December 12, presenter Kevin P. Keefe tells the amazing story of the rebirth
of the historic Berkshire locomotive and her becoming the real-life model
for the Polar Express.

Covering History

Picturesque covered bridges originally had a practical purpose. Wooden
bridges soon decayed from the effects of snow, rain and sun, but covered
bridges had rooves that kept the timbers dry and made them last much longer.
Timothy Palmer built America's first covered bridge in Philadelphia in 1805,
which prompted towns in other states, including Michigan, to copy the idea.
Several Michigan covered bridges still stand, including the Fallasburg
Bridge near Lowell, the Ada Covered Bridge, and the Ackley Covered Bridge in
Greenfield Village.
