The National Capital Trolley Museum first opened in 1969. It has operated at its Colesville location since 2010. One of the main features of the museum is its ability to offer rides on restored trolleys on its one-mile route through Northwest Branch Park.
The museum is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. It preserves and interprets the heritage of electric street and interurban railways for the Nation’s Capital and environs for the benefit of present and future generations while supplementing its collections with significant national and international objects to enhance its interpretive programs.
