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. |
