“Been open since 1966”

A new electric railroad literally had to be brought in and assembled. All this by a group many of whom had never worked a day in their life for an actual railroad. Finally, all was in place and the Relic Trolley Museum opened July 4, 1966! The first rides were 50¢ and only went about as far as the present day car barn which was as far as the trolley wire had been strung! Over the next few months the wire was extended to the present day southern end of the line, other cars acquired and ridership increased.
