Businesses, organizations, and individuals have an excellent opportunity to play a role in history while shaping the De Soto community for the future. We hope everyone will want to be a part of this effort. Anyone who lived in De Soto and who was employed by one of the three railroads, for which our community has provided a home, can be honored in the memorial whether they worked in De Soto or elsewhere. Of course, anyone who worked at the De Soto Railroad Car Shop may be honored in the memorial.
