Private antique electric trolley celebrations
Host a party aboard a moving historic trolley
The Shore Line Trolley Museum
The Shore Line Trolley Museum offers private use of a historic trolley with an operator for celebrations, including small weddings. Events can include railway round trips and time gathered onboard or in the visitor center. Its current menu separately offers private supervised guest-operator inquiries, rather than treating driving as part of every party.

Confirm the specific car, date, route, weather, boarding steps, capacity, food permissions and onboard versus indoor arrangements. Cars are heated but not air-conditioned, and boarding access is limited. Any supervised operation is a separate eligibility-dependent arrangement, not an included party activity or licence. An exclusive car does not mean the entire museum is privately reserved.
