Firstly, thanks to the volunteers who worked on Mother's Day to make it a success at the Trolley Museum! The normal weekend and holiday schedule kicks in starting May 26. See you then! May 2012
The $860,000 track rehab project is getting underway. It is expected the line between the museum yard and Kingston Point will be out of service for periods of time as the track construction progresses. However, the museum will remain open to the public on its regular schedule. There will just be some days that the trolley will not be able to run to Kingston Point. Specific changes to the trolley service will be posted here as soon as it is known. April 2012
Authors William H. Ewen Jr. (Steamboats on the Hudson River) with Steve Ladin and Glendon Moffett (Ulster County Railroads) were at the museum on November 12 to talk about and sign copies of their books.
The museum hosted a hole
for the Nutcracker Open Mini Golf fundraiser for the Catskill Ballet Theatre on November 13.
Refreshments were served while people took on our uniquely challenging hole.

As a result of the IBM Centennial Year Day of Service back on May 20 where 55 IBMer's volunteered their time at the museum, this qualified for a larger IBM Community Service grant than usual. At a recent informal ceremony at IBM Poughkeepsie attended by many of the IBMer's who volunteered on May 20, museum representatives Jon McGrew, Dave Lowrie and Evan Jennings were presented a check for $5,000.
Thank you IBM and all the IBM volunteers who helped make this possible! August 2011
Wow! 55 IBM employees and retirees descended on the Trolley Museum on May 20th and accomplished more in a few hours than would have normally been possible over weeks if not months. The IBMers helped lay sod, mulch, pick up dead brush, organize parts, build a planter, paint a locomotive, clean a subway car and a number of smaller projects. These are all projects that improve the appearance and safety of the museum as well as improve the experience of the visiting public. Click here for more pictures. May 2011
In mid-July 2010, work began on the construction of a new façade for the museum building. The plans include several improvements to building access and security, such as new interior and exterior stairs, raised doors and new windows.
The funding for this project is through a grant received from the New York Department of State administered by the City of Kingston.
The final piece of the project installed a new gutter and drainage system on the south face of the building. The project is now complete! Dec. 2010
The area of the causeway surrounding our trolley stop at Kingston Point has received erosion repairs under a Federal Emergency Management Administration grant secured by the City of Kingston.
As part of the project, all the low brush at the end of the causeway has been cut down and hauled away. Landscape plantings to further improve the appearance completed the project.
The Daily Freeman has an August 22 article and video giving project status. The original article describing the project is here. Dec. 2010
