Review & FAQ:

The National Streetcar Museum, mixed into the National Historical Park, is located in downtown Lowell and was established in 1978. The museum is perfect for visitors who enjoy trolleys, or rather, train cars as its special exhibit allows visitors to explore the history of the urban rail transportation and its rebirth in America. The exhibit details the history of the public transit system within Lowell and how it fits into the broader story of American transit.

For families who are bringing children, there are trolley rides available on fully restored streetcars that operate from May through October – they are free and provided by the National Park Service.
