Cavalcade of Street Cars

The National Capital Trolley Museum hosts a Cavalcade of Street Cars.

            Joanie Pinson, Museum Director of Education, explains, “For most of the year, the Museum offers rides on one or two cars from its collections on any given day.  The Cavalcade of Street Cars enables visitors to ride several European trams and North American street cars through Northwest Branch Park during a single visit.  Admission to the Museum includes multiple trips for the day.  Between trips, visitors may tour Street Car Hall with a docent, learn about the role of street cars in developing communities, and see the antics of Harold Lloyd in silent film comedies featuring street cars.”

             The National Capital Trolley Museum is open from Noon until 5:00 p.m. every weekend and selected Thursdays and Fridays from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. during the spring, summer, and fall.
