Are you interested in history? trolleys? a pleasant walk to a river? osprey sightings? If so, come celebrate Connecticut Trails Day and the 14th year of partnership between Shoreline Greenway Trail and the Shore Line Trolley Museum. We will gather at 10:00 at the Shore Line Trolley Museum, 17 River Street in East Haven, which houses nearly 100 vintage transit vehicles. A Museum volunteer will take us for a ride along the museum’s scenic track through the Farm River estuary. Participants will disembark at a platform to walk to the old dike at the Farm River, visit the remains of an old crushing plant, and talk about its history. After the walk a museum volunteer will take us on a tour of the old trolleys, including the PATH train car that survived 9/11 at the World Trade Center. Length: about two hours. For further information, see the Trolley web site at shorelinetrolley.org or the Shoreline Greenway Trail website at shorelinegreenwaytrail.org.
