The Pennsylvania Trolley Museum in Arden has been awarded a $9,847 grant by the state’s Cultural and Historical Grant Program, state Rep. Jason Ortitay, R-South Fayette, announced.
“The Pennsylvania Trolley Museum is a slice of state history that we are blessed to have located in the 46th Legislative District,” Ortitay said. “It is my hope that this funding will help to ensure the story of Pennsylvania’s trolley era is told to many generations to come.”
The Cultural and Historical Support Grant Program, run by the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission is awarding nearly $2 million in grants to qualified museums and official county historical societies. The one-year grant program is distributing funds designated by the state Legislature to support the preservation of Pennsylvania’s history.
The museum now boasts a collection of nearly 50 cars, over 600 members worldwide, 150 active volunteers, and over 30,000 visitors each year.
