The Trolley Museum is a nice little museum in Kingston, NY. The museum has many interesting trolley and train cars from all across the world. Some of the cars come from as far away as Norway and Belgium. On top of seeing all sorts of train cars the museum offers a trolley ride as well. The trolley ride goes along the Hudson River in downtown Kingston. The trolley car itself is a restored and refurbished 1925 trolley car from Johnstown, Pennsylvania. After seeing downtown in the trolley car it goes to Kingston Point Park and Rotary Park which have excellent views of the Hudson River and the Rondout Lighthouse. Trolley riders are allowed to get out and walk around in this area. The trolley ride is a little bit noisy, but it is still very good. The museum’s display of trolley’s is very good, but could use some work in how the cars are presented. You can board many of them. Some of them are inside, others are outdoors. A neater display would be beneficial, it seems some of the cars are all over the place and it is dusty. Don’t miss the 9/11 police SUV that was destroyed in the terrible attack. The museum and its volunteers clearly work very hard on this museum. Tickets for the trolley ride can be purchased in the museum. Stop by, take a look at the museum and enjoy the trolley ride to the sights and sounds of Kingston.

The Trolley Museum of New York in Kingston, NY, is a hidden gem nestled along the scenic banks of the Hudson River. Our visit was an exhilarating blend of exploration and innovation as we mapped the area and captured breathtaking drone footage. The museum's rich history and vintage trolleys add to its charm, while the picturesque surroundings provided a captivating backdrop for our project. With near-perfect weather, the day was a seamless fusion of learning and creativity. A delightful experience that showcased the museum's allure and the Hudson's natural beauty. A must visit location with friends and family, especially kids. I would rate this 5 stars without any hesitation.

It offers an impressive collection of historic trolleys and streetcars, some of which you can even ride! The museum provides interesting insights into the history of public transportation in the area, with exhibits that are both informative and engaging. The trolley ride along the scenic Kingston waterfront is a highlight, offering beautiful views of the Hudson River. It's a great spot for a nostalgic trip into the past and a delightful experience for visitors of all ages.

Currently during COVID only open 12-5 on weekends by volunteers, this is not a typical "museum". There are few retired/rescued subway trains/buses outside to view. More in the garage under repair. Some history/pictures in the gift shop. That was about it! You can tell the resource is limited and the volunteers are devoting. It's certainly satisfying for a track fan kid and even for adults just knowing what to expect. The trolley goes along the Hudson river between Maritime Museum and the Kingston Point Park. It was a relaxing 20 minute ride.

The layout is a little disorienting at first but if you like trains this is a must. Volunteers donate time to restore vintage trolley and train cars. From an old German street car to one of two PATH train cars that were pulled from the wreckage at WTC after 9/11 it's worth the admission. Top it off with a (mostly) picturesque trolley ride and it's a great way to spend an hour or two in Kingston.
