National Capital Trolley Museum
National Capital Trolley Museum, Railway museum in Colesville, United States.
The National Capital Trolley Museum maintains a collection of 17 streetcars from multiple cities along a mile-long demonstration railway in Montgomery County.
Founded in 1969, the museum arose from a 1961 transportation preservation initiative that initially combined collections with a Baltimore group before separating in 1966.
The museum preserves the transportation heritage through exhibits like Street Cars Go to the Movies, connecting early 20th-century community life with urban mobility.
Located at 1313 Bonifant Road in Silver Spring, the museum welcomes visitors every Saturday from noon to 5 PM with admission fees of $12 for adults.
The demonstration railway traverses woodland tracks within Northwest Branch Park, allowing visitors to experience historical streetcar transportation in natural surroundings.
