The Electric City Trolley Station and Museum

Located at the northwestern edge of Steamtown National Historic Site, The Electric City Trolley Station and Museum is a non-profit museum run by volunteers that houses historic trolleys and offers trolley rides.

The trolley museum exhibits trolleys that highlight the history of electric cars in Pennsylvania since the late 19th century. Visitors will see a late 19th century mill building that has been restored, an exhibit displaying the interior components of a trolley, interactive displays, a 50-seat theater, a miniature trolley, and the story of the Third Rail.

The trolley museum operates from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. seven days a week from May through December. It closes for Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's. During winter months (January through April) the museum opens from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. There is a museum store that offers unique gifts and souvenirs.

The Electric City Trolley Station and Museum is open for private funding and volunteer programs. Local residents are able to provide anonymous gifts or checks in the name of a loved one to assist with the operations of the museum. The Museum relies on funding to keep the operation going.
