The Seashore Trolley Museum is the world’s oldest & largest museum of "its type". It is home to the "National Collection of Historic American Streetcars", housing trolleys and streetcars that once plied the streets of America’s greatest cities, plus many more from around the world. Authentically restored antique electric trolleys carry passengers daily through the Maine countryside on a 4-mile guided tour. The guided tour continues into the exhibit "barns" displaying "a century of streetcars" (1873-1973) and through the world famous restoration shop where the trolleys are lovingly (and meticulously) restored. The Seashore Trolley Museum offers a nostalgic journey into the past and a living memory of the grand trolley era for all ages to enjoy.

Groups and families of all ages delight in this fascinating experience as they tour the orientation room and learn how our grandparents traveled before the automobile became king. Visitors can explore the museum's exhibit barn and even be a "Motorman" and drive one of the 20-ton trolleys. Everyone can experience the power of the electric motors as the restored trolley car pulls away from the platform.
