National Capital Trolley Museum

This museum, located in Northwest Branch Park, preserves and interprets the colorful history of Washington's electric street railways. The museum's collections showcase 17 streetcars from Washington DC and other locations; many of these historic cars are still operated on a one-mile demonstration railway. Other highlights include an O-scale model layout of a 1930s Washington street scene, car houses, and a visitor's center, as well as a video program and traditional exhibits of street railway artifacts and photos.

School group tours are offered by reservation; contact Anne Piccoli at 301-384-6352. The museum is open weekends January 2-November 30; also Thursdays and Fridays, March 15-November 15. No daytime operations in December.
