The streetcar, or “trolley,” played a vital role in the growth of 20th century American cities. Let the artifacts do the storytelling as a representative showcases a few remarkable relics from the museum’s rich collection. Through these unique objects, you will learn more about how our thriving suburban communities owe their existence to the streetcar!

ABOUT THE PA TROLLEY MUSEUM:
The Pennsylvania Trolley Museum came to Washington County in February 1954 with three trolleys and a dream that was born in 1941. Today, the Pennsylvania Trolley Museum owns nearly 50 street and electric railway cars, 20 of which are operational on the museum’s four-mile ride. Each year over 30,000 visitors are treated to a hands-on, moving history lesson.
