NEXT MEETING June 22 at 1 in East and on Zoom

Transportation: How Changes in Transportation Shaped Our Ancestors’ Lives

The Oakmont Genealogy Club will hold its next meeting on June 22 at 1 PM, both in person at East and online via Zoom (see below for Zoom details).

Our topic will be “Transportation: How Changes in Transportation Shaped Our Ancestors’ Lives.” We’ll explore how each major improvement in transportation influenced migration patterns, settlement locations, and daily life.

The discussion will begin with the Great Indian Warpath, which predated English settlement in North America, and then trace developments through coastal sailing ships, trails, early roads, canals, steamboats, and railroads. Each new mode of travel changed how people moved across the continent and how goods reached new communities.
