Description
Between 1925 and 1948, exempting a brief hiatus during World War II, groups of Mississippians traveled hundreds of thousands of miles across North and South America in the world’s longest Pullman train. Under the leadership of Dennis Murphree, General Chairman and former Governor of Mississippi, the Know Mississippi Better Train aimed to promote Mississippi’s economic enterprises, natural resources, and state hospitality to a wider audience. The train cars featured traveling exhibits with agricultural goods, motion pictures of the state’s modern amenities and tourist destinations, and commercial products to attract potential investors.
