Train travel during our years often began at the memorable red brick depot along the New River in Hinton.
The rich history of this destination dates to 1937 and President Roosevelt's Second New Deal.
Both bus companies shared a depot beside the old Princeton Bowling Alley during our years.
Planned as early as 1943, the Mercer County Airport was dedicated in 1951.
The Virginian Train Depot offered transportation from Princeton from 1909 until it closed in 1979.
