National Capital Trolley Museum

Membership in the National Capital Trolley Museum demonstrates a commitment to the preservation and interpretation of electric railway history for our Nation’s Capital. Membership provides the opportunity to participate in member-sponsored activities while providing the satisfaction of supporting an historical asset in the Maryland suburbs of Washington, D.C. Since October 1969 Museum members have operated a demonstration railway in Northwest Branch Park of the Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission. More than 750,000 passengers have enjoyed the Museum’s collections of Washington streetcars, American trolleys and European trams. Members are actively involved in development of new programs, expansion of the collections and improvements in the facilities to enhance the visitor experience.
