Trolleyology: Meet Me Beneath Public Square: The Saga of Cleveland's Subways
2024-07-16 19:00 - 20:30
Join PTM staff, volunteers, and members for our Zoom series, Trolleyology! These programs feature Pennsylvania transit history topics and tales of our collection that you can experience from home. Registration is required but free of charge. Donations are welcome and encouraged.

Meet Me Beneath Public Square: The Saga of Cleveland’s Subways
July 16, 2024 – 7 PM ET – Presented by Dr. Craig Semsel

REGISTER HERE

This presentation will address various plans to build a Cleveland subway. It will look at three distinct periods of time (Progressive Era, 1920s, 1950s) when planning reached a fairly advanced stage and the people of Cleveland voted on whether or not to go forward with construction. Despite the optimism of their promoters, only one small subway was ever built. We will look at the subway that got built, and two “near misses” that got away…

This program will be recorded and available at a later date on the PTM YouTube channel.

Trolleyology presentations will continue on a regular or semi-regular basis. Interested in presenting? Email Kristen at kfred@patrolley.org! We’re specifically looking for programs related to the Trolley Era in general, Pennsylvania transit history, or stories about our collection. Please join our e-mail list to stay up-to-date with program announcements and other PTM news!

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, who lead visitors on this journey through the decades. Join our team this Fall and help us bring the excitement of the past to life for our community. This is a great opportunity for anyone who enjoys history, transportation, technology, education, or just having a fun time!
*Click here to register*

Training Info
Session Dates (Pick One):

Saturday, September 28, 10:00am to 1:00pm
Sunday, September 29, 1:00pm to 4:00pm

Each day as PTM guide looks a little bit different. Guides give tours of our historic Wexford Station and our trolley collection that’s 50+ cars and growing. They greet guests and answer questions about trolley history and daily happenings at the museum. They also might assist with educational programs as well as festivities at special events.
During Museum Guide Training, you’ll learn from our volunteers how to make each visitor’s museum experience the best one possible. The class will highlight important aspects of customer service and how to give a successful tour. Content-related materials will be provided along with other resources- there is no background knowledge necessary!
At the end of your session, you’ll be on your way to becoming an official Museum Guide. You’ll have the opportunity to shadow our experienced volunteers and practice until you’re ready to go. There’s no required time commitment for either your time in training or as an official guide- everything is at your own pace. Whether you volunteer once a week, or a couple times a year, we’ll be glad to have your help.
Museum volunteers must be 14 years of age or older to volunteer without a guardian present. To learn more about our family volunteer opportunities, please email mmeer@patrolley.org.

Red bracelets indicate that the wearer may be feeling overwhelmed or anxious and does not wish to engage in any conversation. They may wish to explore the museum at their own pace.
Yellow bracelets indicate that the wearer may feel uncertain about interactions. They may prefer limited engagement while navigating the museum at their own pace.
Green bracelets indicate that the wearer is comfortable and open to interaction with others.

Furthermore, guests will have access to complimentary Sensory Bags. These bags, which may be requested at the front desk located in the museum store, include noise-canceling headphones, sunglasses, fidget toys, sensory items, and a sensory guide. A valid photo ID will be required for the loan, which will be held by the museum until the sensory bag is returned.

With the help of the International Board of Credentialing and Continuing Education Standards, PTM is pleased to provide Sensory Guides that can be used to help offer insight to guests on the sensory stimulation of different parts of the museum.

The day will be broken into three sessions (morning, afternoon, sunset/evening) with ample time for lunch and dinner between sessions (off-site, not included). Mobility note: this photo excursion involves getting on an off the streetcar and walking on uneven terrain.
The resulting images will evoke nostalgia and a fondness for days gone by.

Streetcars will be lit after dark with continuous-source LED lights providing time for attendees to photograph each scene from multiple angles.
Photographer Tom Pawlesh will coordinate and light the photo shoot. Tom is a retired airline pilot and widely published wildlife & nature and aviation photographer. Tom volunteers as a vintage streetcar operator and instructor at the Pennsylvania Trolley Museum and provides many of the museum’s marketing photos.
