Shelburne Falls Trolley Museum
|
The Shelburne Falls Trolley Museum, in Shelburne Falls, Massachusetts, is dedicated to preserving and operating Shelburne Falls & Colrain Street Railway trolley car No. 10. This car was built by Wason Manufacturing Co. in Springfield MA in 1896. It was delivered new to Shelburne Falls and has never left the valley. For thirty years it served its namesake towns. For twenty years it crossed the Deerfield River on what is now the famous Bridge of Flowers. Saved by a local farmer, it spent sixty-five years as a chicken coop. Now, through the efforts of the Shelburne Falls Trolley Museum, you can ride it in the same freight yard where it used to load and unload passengers, apples, mail, milk and other freight, one hundred years ago.
We have a
collection of
railroad and trolley artifacts and pictures, as well as a 0-4-0T Baldwin steam locomotive,
an ex-CV Caboose and several other
pieces of rolling stock. Run wooden and electric model and toy
trains in the Kids Corner.
 You
can also often ride on our antique
pump car. The museum is an all-volunteer, non-profit organization, funded by memberships and donations, and is open to the public during
regular hours and also for
parties and field trips. We would also appreciate donations of railroad and
trolley artifacts.
