All aboard for a fascinating journey through Collierville’s early transportation history! Join us for a Lunch and Learn with Mike Ellicott as he explores the legacy of the Memphis & Charleston Railroad—the first railroad in Collierville and the first to connect the Atlantic Ocean to the Mississippi River. Discover how this vital rail line shaped the growth of the Town and linked it to the broader currents of 19th-century commerce, conflict, and change. Whether you're a local history buff or just curious about the tracks that helped build a town, this program promises to be an engaging ride.
This Lunch & Learn is a great way to kick off our Train Heritage Day next week!
