In 1901, an inspired preacher-inventor built an airship based on the
description in the Biblical book of Ezekiel. Said to have flown briefly in 1902,
the machine was destroyed in a rail accident on its way to 1904 St. Louis
World's Fair. A historical marker was placed at the original building site,
Pittsburg Foundry on Fulton Street. A full-size replica of the airship is
displayed in the Northeast Texas Rural Heritage Center & Museum. 204 W.
