From horse to airplane
Great-great-grandparents traveled by horse and buggy; now you can fly across the country before lunch. Seeing how getting around changed — foot, horse, train, car, plane — shows history as a story of speeding up over time.
From horses to airplanes
Long ago, people walked or rode animals like horses to get places, and it took a long time. Then came trains, then cars, and then airplanes. Each new invention let people travel farther and faster than before.
Inventions change how we live
When cars became common, people could live farther from work and visit faraway family more easily. New ways to travel change everyday life.
