Museum Membership

Membership entitles you to complimentary admission to the Connecticut Trolley Museum and the Connecticut Fire Museum during regularly scheduled hours of operation. As with normal admission, this means multiple trolley car rides included. You're also invited to participate in seminars, tours, lectures, movies, picnics, demonstrations, or other special events the Trolley Museum puts on, but such events may require an additional fee. Take a look through the gift shop and receive a 10% discount on all regularly priced merchandise (excluding sale priced, donation, or fund raising items). And to keep you "in the know", you'll be subscribed to the Connecticut Electric Railway Association's CERA News newsletter.
