Virtual Tour The museum’s exhibit spaces feature a variety of vehicles, images, artifacts, and displays which tell the story of our area’s land transportation history. Through these exhibits, visitors can trace the evolution of power systems from man and horse, to steam, electricity, and internal combustion. Relative advantages in convenience, speed, cost, and flexibility can be weighed, and the impact on the community of enhanced transportation options can be assessed. Here's just a taste of what's in store for visitors when they tour the museum

Mid-May through October, trolley rides operate every half-hour beginning
at 11:30 a.m. A one-hour excursion on a full-size rail
line, includes a guided tour at the neighboring Rochester & Genesee
Valley Railroad Museum, featuring a restored country train depot and a
wide assortment of railroad equipment on display. The museum's
80-year-old electric trolley cars take you to Midway Station where you'll
board an authentic railroad track car---like the "gandy
dancers" used---for continuation to the depot. On your return to Midway
Station, you'll find the electric trolley car waiting for you. The
conductor has reversed the trolley poles and you're ready to finish your
return trip throught the beautiful Genesee Valley countryside.
