This tour will cover the history of the railroads when they came to Iola. Different railroads were built in the late 1800s. and it looked as if Iola would become the industrial area because of the many railroads that came through town. The men who sold the land to build the railroads were aggressively convincing people to jump on the trains. We even had an electric train that came into existence in the early 1900s, but it, too, failed as the cars and trucks became the way of travel.
As we travel around Iola, the different stories of the rail and depots will be told.
