The Seashore Trolley Museum
The founding of the Seashore Trolley Museum on this site in July, 1939, established the private railway preservation movement in the United States. Six young men under the subsequent 50 year leadership of Theodore F. Santarelli de Brasch acquired a small streetcar from the nearby Biddeford and Saco Railroad and moved it to this then very underdeveloped location. That car, No. 31, built in 1900, remains here in fully restored and operating condition. This museum has since become the world's premiere institution devoted to the operation, restoration and preservation of electric urban and interurban public transit.
