During the summer months from 1891 to 1925 an electric trolley ran from Charlotte to Manitou Beach. All but forgotten in this 21st Century it was the major transportation route for eight miles along the lakeshore.
“Come along and ride this train” and learn about a facinating time in our resort neighborhood of long ago and the legacy the trolley left behind.
Bill Sauers is a lifelong resident of the Town of Greece. He currently is President of the Greece Historical Society, and is a member of the Town of Greece Preservation Commission.
