Lake Superior Railroad Museum Offering Historic Trolley Rides

The trolley was used in Portugal back in the early 1900s and is similar to ones used in Duluth at the turn of the century

DULUTH, Minn. – The Lake Superior Railroad Museum has a new attraction that’s giving visitors a look back at Duluth’s past.

Trolley rides are now being offered with admission to the museum. This particular trolley was used in Portugal back in the early 1900s. It’s now part of the museum because of similarities to the trolleys used in Duluth at the turn of the century.

“Having a trolley that is authentic to that period like the one that ran in Duluth gives our guests and visitors the experience of really stepping back in time and being able to appreciate what Duluth was like at the turn of the century and to take a ride just like citizens would have back right around the 1900s,” said Ken Buehler, executive director of the Lake Superior Railroad Museum.

The trolley departs every 15 minutes from the museum’s depot square.
