WWII Trolley Adventure into History
An hour long theatrical experience where by passengers are transported back into time when America was at war with our Allies to defeat the tyranny of the Axis Powers.
From the trolley, passengers will be able to experience scenes from the war years depicting battles, resistance insurgencies, civilian home-front activities and much more. On board the trolleys, all passengers will need to have their papers (provided with your ticket) inspected by our period German Police and Reichsbahn (German Railway) conductors. These performances are family friendly; however, not recommended for very young children who may be upset by loud noises, theatrical gun fire, and battle scenes.
There will be three trolley battle performances during the weekend; two on Saturday and one on Sunday. Please order your tickets early from the museum in order to secure your place on board the WWII Trolley Adventure.
Before and after your ride, feel free to walk to the military encampment and talk to the soldiers and period civilians, one on one, learning about the equipment, vehicles and weapons used in the war.
