Trolleyology: Shoes, Snack Foods, & Streetcars

Join PTM staff, volunteers, members, and friends of the Museum for our Zoom series, Trolleyology! These programs feature Pennsylvania transit history topics and tales of our collection that you can experience from home. Registration is required but free of charge. Donations are welcome and encouraged. Limited space is available!

Hanover, Pennsylvania has been known in the past for shoes, and in recent decades is known for snack food production.  However, much less is known about the local street railway system that served the greater Hanover area until 1932 and the interurban railway that connected Hanover with York until 1939.  The father and son team of Matt and Andrew Nawn, both Hanover residents, will tell the story of the interesting electric railways that once served this industrial and agricultural center of south-central Pennsylvania.

A Question & Answer session and discussion will follow the program.

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