Ride the Trolley


Travel Back in Time

See Raleigh's 200-year history from an old point of view on the Raleigh Trolley!

From the first mule-drawn streetcar in 1886 to the first electric trolley cars in 1933, the trolley was part of the Raleigh street scene. Bloomsbury Park was opened in 1912 at the end of the trolley line, near old Lassiter Mill, to attract riders. After an absence of five decades, the trolley returned to the downtown streets in 1989.

 The narrated tours lasts one hour with stops throughout down town.
