Connecticut Trolley Museum
Traveling Back In Time
Ted Greenberg,
The Connecticut Electric Railway Association, Inc. is the owner and operator of The Connecticut Trolley Museum. Founded in October 1940, it is the nation's oldest incorporated organization dedicated to the preservation of streetcars and the Trolley Era. As a non-profit institution, its educational and historical aim is the establishment of a full size operating street and interurban railroad system with the appropriate accessory equipment and buildings, to recreate an important phase of New England's business and social life from 1890 to 1945. A three mile round trip streetcar ride with an educational narrative is provided to the museum's visitors during their visit.
