In the days before automobiles, paved roads and highway congestion, trolleys took people everywhere they needed to go. These trolleys were not the rubber-tired trolley-busses we see today, but electric trolleys that ran over railroad tracks laid right in the middle of city streets. While these trolleys have nearly disappeared from the American urban scene, the East Troy Electric Railroad Museum preserves this unique part of 19th and 20th Century history for all to learn from, experience and enjoy. Group tours & charters are available. For a unique dining experience, reserve your ride on the Dinner excursion - call us or visit our website for details.
