Pennsylvania Trolley Museum

​

The Pennsylvania Trolley Museum came to Chartiers Township, Washington County in February 1954. Today, the Museum boasts a collection of over 50 antique streetcars and hosts numerous events, programs, groups, and field trips throughout the year. Travel back in time to a bygone era on the 4-mile scenic round trip ride aboard one of the museum’s restored streetcars. Enjoy the clang of the bell and the clatter of the heavy steel wheels over the rails as you feel the power of the electric motors move the car along the track, an experience first enjoyed by Americans in the 1880s. Visit the Trolley Display Building for a guided or self-guided exploration of the development of streetcars through the Trolley Era (1890-1950). See cars from Pennsylvania, Ohio, New Orleans, and even Rio de Janeiro! In the air-conditioned comfort of the new Welcome & Education Center, you’ll find the trolley simulator, interactive exhibits for children and adults alike, a large-screen theater, and more. Be sure to stop by the Museum Store where a variety of rail-related gifts and souvenirs of your visit can be purchased. Make a day of it and enjoy a picnic in one of our picnic areas along the trolley tracks. Room rental space for up to 200 is available along with a covered pavilion (coming 2026). Free paved bus parking is available 

Please check the Museum's website or call for more information. The Pennsylvania Trolley Museum is more than just a ride... it's an experience!
