overview : Oldest operating trolley museum in the United States. The museum was incorporated in 1945 as the Branford Electric Railway Association, a non-profit historical and educational institution. - A visit to the museum is a multi-sensory voyage into the past, from the moanful growl of the motors, to the smell of the electric arc, to the feel of rattan seats and varnished hardwood detailing.

collections : A 3 mile round trip aboard a fully-restored vintage trolley car, over the original tracks of a scenic country trolley line that has been in continuous operation since July 31, 1900, is complemented by a guided tour highlighting the museum's extensive collection of vintage vehicles.
