Armstrong County, Pennsylvania was home to 2 separate trolley lines during the first third of the twentieth century. This program will focus on one of them. The Kittanning & Leechburg Railways Company, a small rural line ran for 10 miles in the middle of Armstrong County from 1899 to 1936 that became part of the West Penn Railways System in 1911. The focus will be on the communities of Kittanning and Ford City along with a look at Lenape Park, an amusement park owned by the railways company.


A Question & Answer session will follow the program.


For the best experience, we recommend downloading Zoom in advance.
