Have you ever heard of Bolivar Missouri? Bolivar began as a settlement around Keeling Spring, with the majority of settlers being from Hardeman County, Tennessee. The settlement became part of Greene County, Missouri when that county was organized in 1833. After the northern part of Greene County was ceded to form Polk County, Missouri, the Polk County Court proclaimed the settlement as a city, named it Bolivar, and designated it as the county seat on November 10th 1835. Bolivar was re-organized as a fourth-class city on February 15th 1881. 

Bolivar experienced growth in 1884 when the St. Louis–San Francisco Railway was extended to that point. There,along the railroad, a turn around station was built. The workers of the railroad built their own lockers in order to store their personal items. There are 2 sets of these lockers known to exist. A railroad museum has one set and BOXCAR HOUSE has the other set! Over the past few years, we have had MANY customers wanting to purchase these lockers and up to this point, they have not been for sale.  Priced at $2500.00 these lockers would be any railroad/train collectors dream!  Comes with custom metal stand built by Boxcar House to sit them on.
