The photos below were provided by Mike McKenzie. They were rescued from some Cumberland, Maryland area trash a number of years ago by one of Mike's friends.
Mike indicates that the following photo shows Harry Truman in Cumberland, Maryland on his 1948 whistle stop tour. Mike reports that Cumberland's Herman and Stacia Miller photo collection indicates that people waited for Harry Truman's arrival at the Harrison street crossing, which was right next to the Queen City Station.
