Cancelled Meeting

MARCH 7, 2023 MEETING
We are very excited to let you know that the next meeting of the Richardson Historical & Genealogical Society will take place at the Plano Interurban Railway Museum at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, March 7, 2023! Following the business portion of the meeting, we will be treated to a presentation that should be enlightening to anyone who's interested in Richardson history. Unlike Richardson, Plano did not allow its Interurban station to be demolished, and that's where the museum is located: In the actual old Interurban station on 15th Street! With an actual restored Interurban car that Richardson people probably rode on parked outside!

All the museum asks is that each member bring a $2 per person donation.

The Interurban Railway Museum is located at 901 East 15th Street, Plano, Texas 75074, on the north side of the street. There is a large free parking lot between the museum and the DART tracks. (See GOOGLE MAP.)

See you there!
