All aboard! Visitors to the Fox River Trolley Museum can step back in time and experience the golden age of the electric trolley. Embark on a scenic 4-mile round trip along the banks of the Fox River, enjoying the sights and sounds of this forgotten mode of transportation. Additionally, the museum boasts a collection of historic trolleys, many from long-gone lines that once connected cities like Carpentersville, Elgin, and Aurora. With the “Education Through Demonstration” theme, the Fox River Trolley Museum is a perfect family outing or a nostalgic adventure for history buffs.
Fox River Trolley Museum is participating in Explore Elgin Area’s Stick and Stay Trail to celebrate serving the Elgin area for 40 years. This program allows you to win prizes when you collect 12 stickers from one of the 24 destinations participating in the program. Collect these stickers in person or digitally when you visit the attractions and submit them to the Explore Elgin Area Visitors Center to redeem your prize (as long as supplies last).
