Shelburne Falls and Colrain Street Railway No. 10 is the centerpiece of our collection. Built in 1896 by Wason Manufacturing in Springfield, MA, it carried freight and passengers for thirty years. In 1927 the body of the trolley was given to a farmer to use as a chicken coop. In 1991 the farmer's family donated the body to SFTM. Come ride No. 10 and get the entire story from your conductor.

The Shelburne Falls Trolley Museum exists due to the generosity of members, visitors and friends.  Tickets cover about one-third of our operating costs.  Donations are tax-deductible, the museum is a 501(c)(3) organization, run entirely by volunteers. Our Tax ID is 04-3133373. Feel free to research our operation at Guidestar.org.
