Shore Line Trolley Museum

If you have ever visited the Danbury Railway Museum, the museum displays at the Shore Line Trolley Museum are similar. You can play with model trains, see railway history and artifacts, visit the gift shop. And they have a pressed penny machine, this one is $1.01 for each elongated penny...but if you don't have the change, the gift shop will make some for you.

What I love about this museum;

• most laid back and chill staff members. very friendly. 
• you can set your own pace. absolutely no rush here. 

Things to know;

• open Wednesday – Sunday, June 25 – September 1, with the first trolley ride at 11AM and the last trolley ride at 3PM. There is a stop to see "the barn" and if you feel like you need more time to poke around and look, you can stay and board the next trolley. 
• I booked my ticket for 1pm as that was the time slot available. We got there a good bit early since we had never been to this area before and were able to take the noon trolley. Your ticket is basically good for the entire day.
• there is a Little Free Library out front. 
• there are several osprey nests along the route and the trolley driver will stop at one of the larger nests near the tracks so you can get good photos. we also saw swans, ducks, a variety of gulls, barn swallows, and an egret (great or snowy, I didn't see the beak...he flew over while we were boarding.)
