Electric trolley rides will be operating at the New York Museum of Transportation during the Monroe County Fair Friday, Saturday and Sunday, August 3, 4 and 5.
The museum’s rail line is right next door to the County Fair site, and Fair visitors are invited to take the short walk from the festivities for a ride on the only electric trolley operation in New York State. Ride fare is $2 per person.
The trolley will depart every 30 minutes on Friday from 11 a.m. to 7:30 p.m., Saturday from 10 a.m. to 7:30 p.m., and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
Only trolley rides will be offered on Friday. The full museum will be open Saturday and Sunday, featuring a steam locomotive, huge model railroad, and numerous highway and horse drawn vehicles. Riders wishing to also visit the museum will receive a coupon deducting their $2 fare from the regular admission of $8 adults, $7 seniors age 65+, and $6 youths age 3 to 12. Under age 3 are free.
The museum is located at 6393 East River Road, just 20 minutes from downtown Rochester and easily reached from Exit 11 off I-390.
