Let’s Talk Trolleys!
Let’s Talk Trolleys are a series on virtual presentations about the history of streetcars and Interurbans in Oregon, and about our museum’s trolley collection. This is to help keep us connected while our trolley operations are suspended. The presentations are free to attend (pre-registration is required), donations are appreciated to help the OERHS maintain our historic trolleys.
The OERHS has suspended all public 2020 scheduled trolley operations due to COVID19 out of concern for our volunteers and passengers. This includes all charters. We apologize for the inconvenience and look forward to returning in 2021.
