The History of Transportation in Perry | Perry's 200th Birthday Celebration

Perry, Georgia, is turning 200 years old in 2024, and we're celebrating all year long!

Did you know that in 1888, you could journey from Elko to Macon by train for just $1.45? In this episode, Mrs. Ellie Loudermilk, President of the Perry Area Historical Society & Museum, narrates the evolution of Perry's modes of transportation throughout history.

You can learn more about the modes of transportation in Perry at the Perry Area Historical Society Museum.
