“the oldest continuously operating suburban trolley line in the U.S.”
The Mission of the Shore Line Trolley Museum is to share with a diverse audience, the story of the Trolley and related forms of public transportation in their historical context. The Shore Line Trolley Museum operates the Branford Electric Railway, listed on the National Register of Historic Places as "the oldest continuously operating suburban trolley line in the United States."
