East Troy Electric Railroad
Experience living history in Wisconsin’s landmark electric railroad museum! In the days before urban sprawl, highway congestion, paved roads and automobiles, people got around town and out of town by trolleys. Trolleys were a ‘green solution’ before today’s present day focus on the environment. Intercity electric railways, also known as interubans, delivered electricity to  farms and villages along the way. Trolleys, now known as light-rail lines, enjoy resurgence around the world due to their environmental friendliness. The East Troy Electric Railway preserves a unique part of transportation history for young and old to experience, learn and enjoy.
