The PA Trolley Museum- where history comes to life, and volunteers make it happen!

Registration for this event is not yet available. Fill out this form to be notified when registration opens.

Since our beginning as the Pittsburgh Electric Railway Club, PTM has relied on the passion of volunteers to keep the Trolley Era alive.  Today, our volunteer program- 180+ participants strong- continues this mission.  Through their efforts, the Pennsylvania Trolley Museum strives to inspire the next generation of innovators with our collection and programs. 

You’re invited to join us on March 8, 2025 for our Volunteer Open House, where you’ll get to:

• Meet our volunteers!  Connect with our team of trolley enthusiasts, educators, and community members of all ages 
• Tour our maintenance and restoration shop and find out how you can help preserve vintage transportation
• Take a look at our transit archives.  Our volunteers explore PA’s history through photos, maps, signage, artwork, and more
• Discover how you can become a trolley operator, serve as a museum guide, and help with our exciting holiday events

Registration is required for free admission to the museum. All ages are welcome to attend! Families are welcome to attend and may register with the same form.  If you are interested in planning an outing to this event for your group or club, please email Morgan, Volunteer Recruiter, at mmeer@patrolley.org.
