Electric City Trolley Museum, Transport museum in downtown Scranton, United States.
The Electric City Trolley Museum features vintage trolleys, railway equipment, and interactive displays inside a restored nineteenth-century mill building adjacent to Steamtown National Historic Site.
On November 29, 1886, Charles Van Depoele conducted the first electric streetcar test run in Scranton, establishing the foundation for local transportation development.
The museum maintains a collection of restored trolleys that demonstrate the evolution of public transportation methods in eastern Pennsylvania through exhibits and demonstrations.
Museum tickets include admission to exhibits and trolley excursions, with departures from the main platform Thursday through Sunday between 9:00 AM and 4:00 PM.
The excursion route passes through Crown Avenue Tunnel, stretching 4,747 feet, one of the longest interurban tunnels built in North America.
