Last Friday, several school groups joined us at the Rockhill Trolley Museum to experience what travel on an electric trolley was like decades ago.

​Electric trolleys once served much the same role as today’s school buses. Before personal cars became common, they were a primary way for people to travel. A field trip to the museum offers students a fun, hands-on opportunity to see this history up close.

​To schedule a school visit and ride a real electric trolley car, please visit www.rockhilltrolley.org or message our page!

Here's a Way Back Wednesday for today.

With Porto 249 being returned to operation this past weekend, did you know it came gift wrapped form Porto?

We are proud to have this car in our collection of unique trolleys at the Rockhill Trolley Museum.

Wow, it's hard to believe the 2026 trolley operating season is officially underway!

​Last Saturday, May 2nd, was a spectacular start to our operating season as we ran an expanded schedule for the Friends of the East Broad Top (FEBT) Reunion Weekend.
​Thanks to the generosity of the FEBT and a kind donation from an individual within that group, trolley tickets were included in this year's reunion package. It was a joy to see so many FEBT members riding our cars and enjoying the rails!

​We had an excellent turnout of volunteers to help operate the 13 scheduled trips, plus a few special after hour trips. We operated nine different trolley cars throughout the day. Tours were also offered in our Buehler Restoration Shop showing off the restoration work being accomplished on Rio Open Car 1875 and Chicago Interurban 315 by our dedicated volunteers.

A huge thank you to our incredible volunteers who kept trolleys running and our visitors who shared the day with us.

​Did you join us this weekend? Share your favorite photos of your ride in the comments below!

​The season is just getting started, and we can’t wait to welcome you aboard. Trolleys will be running in Rockhill Furnace every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday throughout the season. Come ride with us and experience the history of the electric trolley car firsthand!

Our Museum would not exist without our volunteers. On this last day of national volunteer month, we'd like to give a huge round of applause and thanks to all of our volunteers. We could not accomplish what we do without everyone.

To our all of our volunteers who work in so many areas such as trolley operations, trolley restoration and maintenance, building and property maintenance, track and wire, museum store, administration, public outreach, publicity, and so many other areas:

We thank you for your dedication and support of the museum and its activities!

And if you would like to join this team, we would welcome your support and participation. See how you can make a difference!

Join us on Saturday, May 2nd as we are opening our season a little different this year. We will be operating an expanded schedule with trolleys operating from 10 am to 4 pm. Trolleys will depart every 30 minutes. We will operate numerous trolleys throughout the day including appearances by San Diego LRV 1019, the only operating Philadelphia & Western Bullet car 205, and one of only two Liberty Liners (Electroliners) ever built.

April is National Volunteer Month!

Our museum is staffed, operated, and managed entirely by volunteers. Some of these individuals are retired, but many have regular jobs during the week. Our volunteers are responsible for everything from operating the trolleys, to building maintenance, and everything in between!
Many volunteers will tell you it is a rewarding experience to give back and share their time and knowledge with others.

We are happy to invite more people to participate in our preservation work and are eager to share our experiences with others. There are numerous opportunities for individuals to contribute to the preservation of electric trolley car history.

We are always happy to have additional volunteers interested in helping with our restoration and maintenance projects to keep our trolleys in operation and restore additional cars. If you have electrical, machining, woodworking, or other trade skills we would especially welcome your participation, but there are lots of opportunities for other skills, or no skills at all. Even without prior experience, we welcome your help and can train you to do what it takes to maintain and operate our trolley cars and keep our museum in operation.

We are thankful to all our volunteers at the Rockhill Trolley Museum for making everything possible. They possess a strong commitment to preserving history and bring a wide range of skills, working together to ensure the museum continues to advance over time.

Come join us and share your time, skills, and talents.

Did you know that April is National Volunteer Month!

Our museum is entirely staffed, operated and managed by volunteers. Some of these individuals are retired, but many have regular jobs throughout the week. Our volunteers are responsible for everything from operating the trolley cars, to building maintenance, and everything in between!

Many volunteers will tell you it is a rewarding experience to give back and share their time and knowledge with others.

Along the way, you meet visitors from around the world and other volunteers while helping with the museum activities.

You can volunteer at Rockhill Trolley Museum year round!

We always welcome additional volunteers to join our preservation efforts and look forward to share our experiences.

We are thankful to all our volunteers at Rockhill Trolley Museum for making everything possible. We have volunteers with a variety of skill sets that combine their efforts to keep the museum operating and progressing into the future.

One of the most visible areas is the Trolley Operations Department. You have the opportunity to become a trolley operator and find yourself behind the controls of a real electric trolley. Depending on which trolley that is, the car may be more than 100 years old!

There are so many ways you can help make a difference with preserving the history of the electric trolley car.

Come join us and share your time, skills, and talents.
