If you’re looking for family fun before the summer ends, consider visiting one of Connecticut’s many museums celebrating our state’s rail heritage. — Darienite.com editor’s notes on current museum days of operation are in italics and within brackets below. The Shore Line Trolley Museum in East Haven was founded in 1945 and now boasts more than 100 trolley cars in its collection. It’s on the National Registry and is the oldest continuously operating trolley line in the U.S., still running excursion trolleys for three miles on tracks once used by the Connecticut Co. for its “F Line” from New Haven to Branford.
