Founded in 1940, the Connecticut Trolley Museum is the oldest incorporated museum dedicated to electric railroading in the United States. It is located in East Windsor, Connecticut and operates a 1.5 mile tourist railway over the original right-of-way of the Hartford and Springfield Street Railway Company. The museum preserves over 70 pieces of rolling stock comprised of trolleys, railcars, locomotives, and railroad work equipment. The museum is open to the public most of the year and also features static displays and a self-guided tour of trolley history. Unlimited rides on cars are included in the admission for the day. At least two different cars are run each day.
The museum is known for special events held throughout the year, including Winterfest & The Tunnel of Lights (Thanksgiving through New Years), Pumpkin Patch (October), and Railfan Weekend (June & September).

Located on the same property is the Connecticut Fire Museum which exhibits antique fire apparatus and motor coaches. A full-service restaurant located in an old railroad passenger car is also located on the museum property.
