For more information about the Merci Box Car history, check out their website.

The Merci Train was a train of 49 French railroad box cars filled with tens of thousands of gifts of gratitude from at least that many individual French citizens showing their appreciation for the more than 700 American box cars of relief goods sent to them by (primarily) individual Americans in 1948.  Visit the exhibit to see New Hampshire’s Box Car!
