Make the Trolley Era come alive!

During their visits to the Pennsylvania Trolley Museum, guests have the chance to travel back in time to the wonders of the Trolley Era- when the bright lights and clanging bells of the trolleys filled the streets of America.

This experience would not be possible without our Museum Guides. These volunteers lead visitors on this journey through the decades, both by giving guided tours and answering questions as visitors explore our collection. This is a great opportunity for anyone who enjoys history, transportation, vintage technology, education, or just having a fun time!

During your training process, you'll tour our museum, explore our trolley history resources, and shadow our experienced guides on their tours. Once you're ready to go, you'll be able to sign up to be a Museum Guide whenever you'd like. The PA Trolley Museum has needs for guides during weekday, weekend, and evening shifts, but both your training and guiding schedule are completely up to you. Whether you plan to volunteer once a week, or a couple times a year- we'd appreciate the help!

In addition to expressing interest here (by clicking "I Want to Help"), you will also need to confirm your interest with our Volunteer Application which can be found at patrolley.org/volunteer

**Please be advised that volunteers must be a minimum of 14 years of age to participate without a parent or guardian present. All volunteers must provide their PA Clearances per PA State Law. Visit patrolley.org/volunteer-information to view clearance instructions.**

About Pennsylvania Trolley Museum

1 Museum Road, Washington, PA 15301, US

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!
