A great way for families to enjoy the colors of an upstate autumn is from the windows of a vintage electric trolley car at the New York Museum of Transportation in Rush.
Rides operate Sundays only, October 4, 11, and 25, and are included free with admission to the museum. The 20-minute rides depart at 11:30 a.m., 12:30, 1:30, 2:30, and 3:30 p.m. The museum is open 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. No reservations are needed.
While the rides are a highlight for visitors, large model railroads, numerous full-size trolley cars, a steam locomotive, antique trucks and cars, horse-drawn vehicles, and smaller artifacts provide a rich, hands-on experience that appeals to kids and older folks alike. The museum’s newest exhibit features Rochester’s Midtown Plaza Monorail.
The New York Museum of Transportation is located 20 minutes south of Rochester at 6393 East River Road (I-390 south to exit 11, NY Rt. 251 West, then 1 mile north on East River Road). Admission for the entire experience is $12 for adults, $10 for seniors over 65, and $6 for youths ages 3 through 12.
