Shore Line Trolley Museum

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."  The Shore Line Trolley Museum has been an important part of the community since its incorporation in 1945 as the Branford Electric Railway Association.  It was founded to preserve the unique heritage of an endangered species — the trolley car — and today boasts a collection of nearly 100 vintage vehicles as well as artifacts and documents from the trolley era.
