History is happening in the Redmond area and we welcome you to our meeting. The Redmond Historical Society will meet on Saturday, April 9, 2011, 10:30 to 12:00 noon at The Old Redmond Schoolhouse Community Center, 16600 NE 80 Street, Redmond, WA.
Jesse “Clark” McAbee of the Northwest Railway Museum, Snoqualmie, will be speaking on saving an American treasure and King County landmark, giving the history and restoration of the Messenger of Peace, Chapel Car 5, an all-wood, 80-foot passenger car built in Dayton, Ohio, in 1898, for the express purpose of spreading the gospel across the United States. It was a star feature of the St. Louis Exposition in 1904, and spent many years in Washington State. You won’t want to miss this meeting.
