Learn the invaluable roles women played in shaping the future of rail industry. We will recognize their achievements and hope to inspire the next generation of female leaders in railroading. Additionally, take a trolley ride operated by period dressed motormen. Learn historic information about each car you ride and how the museum began. Inside the Visitor Center you will find more static trolley cars and artifacts, a theater showing a movie and a gift shop to buy that 'special' souvenir. On the same grounds is the Connecticut Fire Museum complete with antique fire trucks and apparatus.
