How does a museum celebrate and preserve transit history? By travelling outside its walls! Transit museums are often in a unique position to host excursions on their vintage fleets and lead tours in the systems of their home cities. The New York Transit Museum and the Pennsylvania Trolley Museum are no exception. Join Kristen Fredriksen, Manager of Visitor Experience at the Pennsylvania Trolley Museum ( pa-trolley.org), and Polly Desjarlais, Content Manager at the New York Transit Museum ( nytransitmuseum.org), to hear about each location’s early transit history, their respective museum origin stories, and program highlights.
