The Trolley Museum is actually quite easy to reach from I-91. Just go up the hill to the intersection for the Cracker Barrel on the left- but keep stright on. A quarter of a mile later, an old CN box-cab from the Montreal "Deux-Montagnes" line greets you at the entrance to the parking lo9t. The collection is now housed in... More

It's cute to take a ride on the trolleys. They are historically preserved, which is interesting. This is not an all-day destination, but it is interesting nonetheless and I recommend it for kids of all ages. More

Rustic, cute museum for the train lover and a short ride for the nostalgic trolley buff! The Christmas trolley ride with cocoa is a hit with the under 7 yr. old set! Sofia's Italian restaurant a good bet if dinner desired....just up the hill on Rt.5.  More

Extensive trolley museum. Make sure to go for a ride. Trip is a back and forth, but still fun for everyone. Special trolley rides are set up for holidays. Check ahead. More

if you are a lover of trolleys and trains, this is a great day trip!! They have restored many miles of track to ride on. They also have a Christmas Trolley festival. If you are lucky, you can talk to some of the restorers about their labors of love!! More
