EAST WINDSOR, Conn. (WTNH) — The Connecticut Trolley Museum in East Windsor has received $750,000 from the federal government.
The museum held a dedication ceremony Tuesday morning.
The money has been used to address drainage issues, improve parking and accessibility for visitors, support renovations to the visitor center, and maintenance work on railway lines along with the trolley car storage barn.

“We’re in constant flux and change with technology, but it’s always great to be reminded how we got here,” U.S. Rep. John Larson (D, CT-1) said.
Organizers say maintaining the facility helps keep history alive.
“We’re here to preserve history, trolley transportation history,” Gina Maria Alimbert, the executive director of the Connecticut Trolley Museum said. “The big deal for us is to get the young kids inspired so they can learn it and keep it with them and either come back as an adult and volunteer or bring their families.”
The Trolley Museum is located off of I-91 Exit 45 on Route 140.
