Our mission is to preserve the era of the streetcar and demonstrate its usefulness in our future. There is a renaissance of interest in historic trolleys nationwide that is reflected in several new trolley lines running in cities such as Tampa and Dallas, as well as the resurgence in existing lines in New Orleans, San Francisco, and Pittsburgh.

The restoration of the Superior Viaduct with working trolley tracks by Stonebridge Development has shown the possibility of a trolley operation that could connect the Viaduct and the West Side Market with the East Bank of the Flats, Ohio Canal Corridor Canal Basin Park and the RTA Waterfront Line.

We are working with local businesses, The Greater Cleveland Regional Transit Authority, The Western Reserve Historical Society and other organizations to keep Trolleyville in Cleveland.

Adding this line with a new interactive museum to showcase the Brookins family collection would put Cleveland in the forefront of the growing trolley movement while preserving the city’s heritage and opening new developments. Please join us!

If you are interested in helping us keep the Trolleyville collection together, you can volunteer your time or resources or donate to our non-profit museum. You may also contact us for more information.
