American railroads and photography share a common bond. The histories of both can be traced back to the 1830s. The expression "glory road," a sentimental term for a railroad, is said to date back nearly as far, and is reported to have been used often by both railroad workers and passengers. "Glory Road: An Exhibit of Railroad-Themed Posters and Photo Illustrations" explores this historic bond with original poster designs and photo illustrations by graphic artist Al Pierce. The exhibit, supported by a Lackawanna County Arts and Cultures grant, will be featured at the park's Changing Exhibits Gallery. Visitors will also have an opportunity to "meet-and-greet" the artist at the exhibit on Sunday, June 9 from 2-4pm.
