| The Walker Transportation Collection is a
non-profit, all-volunteer organization that is associated with the Beverly Historical Society and Museum in
Beverly, Massachusetts. Our vast photographic archives and research
facilities are available to those who are interested in any aspect of transportation in
New England. The Walker Transportation Collection has 200,000 photographs and
artifacts documenting the development, growth, and operation of all forms of
transportation in New England! There is never an admission charge when you do visit our
facilities. However, your donations of desired items, volunteer time and money are both
needed and gratefully accepted and appreciated. |
