Mule Cars

Faith Hanna, who will be 99 in July, said her only sharp recollection of the mule cars was that they transported folk to the Chautauqua assemblies at Island Park from the downtown Winfield area in the early days of the 20th Century. Mule-drawn cars were the forerunner of the electric streetcars.
