Happy Saturday! We're open 9:30am-4pm today, with the last trolley ride departing at 3pm.

Don't forget, to support the Shore Line Trolley Museum during their closure, we are donating a portion of the admission proceeds from Branford, CT and East Haven, CT residents to the Shore Line Trolley Museum. If you're a member there, you do receive free admission at the Connecticut Trolley Museum, so come on out and enjoy a ride, or several!

This weekend will be warm, but not so humid! It'll be a great weekend for a ride on an open trolley, AKA a breezer! We're open Saturday and Sunday 9:30am-4pm, with the last trolley ride at 3pm each day!

Last Saturday, the The Shore Line Trolley Museum sustained damage during a strong thunderstorm and will be closed this weekend. To help them out, we will be donating a portion of admission sales from anyone visiting from East Haven, CT or Branford, CT. So if you're from these towns, come on up and support your local museum!
