The private car of E.H.R. “Ned” Green, President of the Midland Railroad, is on display in Ben Gill Park.
Green was the son of the notorious “Witch of Wall Street” Hetty Green, a gilded age multi-millionaire. He was a prominent citizen of Terrell and served as state Republican Party Chairman in 1896. Green took Texas’ first gasoline-powered motorcar trip in 1899.
