Exhibit Buildings at Seashore Trolley Museum
The Visitors Center is a hub of activity for the Museum. It houses one of the first exhibits you are likely to see when you visit. Just off of the lobby and opposite the Museum Store is an exhibit room that houses our History in Motion exhibit. This 1600 square foot gallery employs a series of murals and artifacts to tell the story of how trolleys changed the lives of people in Maine. This space is also well suited and available for hosting functions such as meetings or receptions.

The Museum’s three public Exhibit buildings house vehicles are Burton B. Shaw South Boston, Riverside, and Highwood. Not all vehicle storage buildings are open to the public but the these three are accessible, clearly marked and within easy walking distance from the Visitors Center and Morrison Hill Station. It is a good idea to peruse our Events Calendar as occasionally volunteers, with an above average knowledge of the collection, will offer extended tours which provide access to buildings and vehicles that are not usually open to the public.

The Donald G. Curry – Town House Shop has an observation gallery that is open to the public*. The Restoration Shop is major component of the Museum and where most of the maintenance and restoration work takes place. The Shop is active year-round. Even after the operating season has come to an end a small contingent of paid staff supplemented with a dedicated crew of volunteers are busy restoring and/or maintaining a variety of streetcars whose histories span generations as well as the globe. The work is detailed and interesting. If you think you might have interest in joining this highly skilled team contact the Restoration Shop Director or the Volunteer Coordinator for more information. We would be glad to have you!
