Father's Day Behind the Scenes Tour

Event Details

Get an exclusive look at our ongoing restoration and maintenance projects—including the incredible 123-year-old Connecticut Company Car #3001. You’ll also enjoy a guided tour of the Fire Truck Museum’s restoration work and explore areas of the museum grounds usually closed to the public. Enhance your visit with our Mini Guest Motorman Experience—just $25! Step behind the controls and operate a trolley under the guidance of our expert motormen. Each Motorman Experience includes a commemorative 85th Anniversary Pin and a 75th Anniversary Legacy Pin. Available at 10 AM and 1 PM. Throughout your visit, ride vintage trolleys operated by motormen in period attire and discover the unique history behind each car and the museum’s beginnings. Inside the Visitor Center, explore even more historic trolley cars and artifacts, catch a trolley-themed film in our theater, and browse the gift shop for great souvenirs.
