Nonprofit Overview

Causes: Arts & Culture, History Museums, Museums, Science & Technology Museums

Mission: Our all-volunteer museum was chartered by New York State in 1975 to restore and operate several historic trolley cars. We have collected additional traction equipment and highway and horse-drawn vehicles to reveal to visitors the changing technology of transportation and its influence on society. We provide a hands-on experience for young people to discover, and older visitors to recall, vehicles and transportation systems of the past. We broaden this learning opportunity through lectures, archive research, exhibits, and historical articles in the museum's newsletter. We feel we achieve a level of consistent, professional quality comparable to that of larger-budget institutions.
