'River, Road and Rail' exhibit opens at museum
GRAND BEND - Less than a
century ago, travelers were jolting
across the country in stage coaches
at six miles per hour. By the start
of the 20th century the 'iron horse'
was the popular mode of transport,
and by the 1030s the 'horseless
carriage' had taken the country by
storm.

to 4 p.m. the Lambton Heritage
Museum host a festival of trans-
portation through the years. This
event will feature antique and clas-
sic vehicles of all types. Over 20

hand courtesy of members of the
Antique and Classic Car Club of
Canada and the Historical Auto-

portance of the SL Clair River and
the Great Lakes to Lambton
County.

ist today in Lambton County. Also
featured will be an exhibit on the SL
Clair Tunnel. At the time of its offi-
cial completion in 1891, the tunnel
was the world's longest submarine
tunnel, and was widely celebrated as
one of the greatest engineering mar-
vels of its time.
