Mark down August 11, 2012 on you Calendar. Maine Garden Railway Society is planning to visit and enjoy all the sights at the famous Seashore Trolly Museum. Here are some of the things they offer as taken from their web site:
- Explore the Museum campus, visiting our Bus and Trackless Trolley Collections.
- Observe the work being performed on various projects in our Town House Restoration Shop.
- Tour our three exhibit carbarns that contain a sampling of our worldwide Streetcar Collection.
- Ride an unlimited number of times aboard a variety of authentically restored streetcars.
- Your group can also head to our exhibit History in Motion: Public Transportation Connecting Maine Communities. Take a look at how the Atlantic Shore Line Railway, an electric interurban line, changed the communities it passed through in southern Maine.
- Take time to look through our Museum Store, which is full of souvenirs, books, and some "hard to find" transportation related items.
- Enjoy a trolley ride on an authentically restored streetcar through the Maine countryside. Enjoy a tour through our exhibit mentioned above and hop on board for a 30 minute ride back to yesteryear.
- Tour of the Grounds - After your streetcar ride on the demonstration railway, one of our docent's will guide your group through our exhibit carbarns which contain samples from our worldwide collection and over to our restoration shop.
- MGRS has made reservations for August 11. We have a Group rate: Adults $7.50 Children Age 16 and under $6.00
The Museum hours are 10 to 5. They do not serve food, but they provide picnic tables which are available if you wish to bring a box lunch. That sounds like a fun thing to plan on. If you have questions Dick Rubin is the event coordinator. He can be reached at his email. rjrubin100@aol.com. If you plan to go let Dick know so he can keep track of estimated total number, or just leave comment. Thank you. We hope everyone goes and we expect it to be a lot of fun.
