The Shore Line Trolley Museum is the country’s longest-operating trolley museum. The museum preserves and protects the history of the trolley car and includes a number of informative and interactive exhibits related to the history of trolley cars.

Also located on the museum grounds is a short, 1.5-mile trolley track, where visitors can climb aboard a restored historical trolley and take a ride. During the trolley ride, you will travel the Branford Electric Railway, which passes by beautiful scenery and may even offer the chance to see interesting wildlife. The trolley rides are family-friendly and totally appropriate for children.
