Ever ride a real trolley car?

News Topic: Why Visit?

The ting-ting of the trolley bell, the growl of the gears, the ticka-ticka-ticka of the air compressor... Take a step back in time to when many American towns and cities offered inexpensive and convenient transportation using electric trolleys.

Our collection has several operational trolleys, including an open car, high-speed interurban cars, fascinating maintenance-of-way cars, a snow sweeper that is over 100 years old and a Philadelphia PCC. Plus you'll see more cars being restored in our shops by our talented volunteers.

You and your family can learn how about trolleys and how generations before ours got around in America, while enjoying a leisurely ride through the scenic countryside.
