Trolley Museum

Relive the time of the trolleys at Electric City Trolley Museum and Station, located in a recently restored late 19th century mill building. Through interactive exhibits and displays, including vintage trolleys, the museum tells the story of the electric traction systems and the impact they had on the development of the Lackawanna Valley, Northeast Pennsylvania and the industrial northeast.

 

The scenic trolley excursion route follows a portion of the former Lackawanna & Wyoming Valley (Laurel Line) Railroad right-of-way, as it parallels Roaring Brook, proceeds past the Historic Iron Furnaces and continues through the Crown Ave Tunnel at 4747 feet long – one of the longest interurban tunnels ever built.

All trolley excursions depart from the main passenger platform of the Steamtown National Historic Site, while boarding areas are between the Trolley Museum building and the main Steamtown facilities.

Please note that tickets for the trolley excursion are not available on the car itself, and must be purchased in advance at the Trolley Museum.
