Train to be a tour guide at the Pennsylvania Trolley Museum! Class will be held on September 9th from 10:00am to 1:00pm.
The Pennsylvania Trolley Museum will soon be moving to the new Welcome and Education Center, opening Fall 2023. With the move, visitors will get to experience the Museum in a whole new way - the Trolley Display Building will be open for guests to explore at their own pace in addition to regularly scheduled guided tours.
We’re seeking volunteers with great people skills who enjoy history, transportation, technology, education, or storytelling! These volunteers may help not only with tours but also answering guests’ questions as they explore the museum and conducting museum programming such as ticket punch activities or "trolley talk" demonstrations.
This class will highlight important aspects of customer service and how to give a successful tour. After completing this class, you will have the opportunity to qualify as official Volunteer Tour Guide. To sign-up, express interest in this opportunity, and our volunteer coordinator will reach out to you.
See you there!
**Please be advised that all volunteers must be a minimum 14 years of age. All volunteers must provide their PA Clearances per PA State Law.**

Mission Statement
The Pennsylvania Trolley Museum's mission is to communicate the story of Pennsylvania's Trolley Era to a diverse audience through the preservation, interpretation, and use of its collection of electric railway and railroad equipment, associated artifacts and photo/document archives, and to ensure that its visitors have an enjoyable and rewarding educational experience.
Description
The Pennsylvania Trolley Museum has evolved over the past 50 years from a handful of volunteers and a few trolleys to over 600 members and approximately 50 trolleys preserved at its museum in Washington, Pennsylvania. Visitors get a unique opportunity to actually experience the Trolley Era first hand by riding the Museum's beautifully restored streetcars for a scenic four-mile ride.
At our museum, volunteers of all ages work to preserve and share transportation history through trolley operation, educational tours, and maintenance and restoration work with our collections. We are also looking for volunteers with a variety of interests to help with special events and a wide range of museum operations. Anyone with a passion for trolleys, regional history, or simply serving one's community is welcome to join us!
