Grafton Railroad History with Paul Justy

We were lucky to speak with Paul Justy, author and Grafton railroad expert.  Paul has been a part of the local railroad preservation group for many years, a group which has worked hard to save the historic railroad tower and share knowledge of Grafton's history with everyone.  A lifelong resident of Grafton, Paul's interest in the railroad started when he was a child, exploring and learning early on about the industry.  Also, Paul and Chris Smith are authors of the book, "The Lost Quarry Industry of Indian Hollow and Willow Park - Grafton, Ohio" which you can borrow from the Library if you'd like to learn more about the quarry industry in the area, made possible by the railroads themselves.  Thank you again to Paul Justy for taking the time and sharing his passion for the history of our community.
