COLRAIN — The Colrain Historical Society will take passengers on a trolley/bus ride along the route of the former Shelburne Falls & Colrain Street Railway on Oct. 15, from 2 to 4 p.m. to see what riders on that trolley would have seen 120 years ago. The ride will begin at the Trolley Museum in Shelburne Falls, following the old line to Colrain and back, with commentary along the way.
Tickets to ride cost $10, which includes ice cream at the museum, recalling the time when Shelburne Falls residents took the trolley up to “Coleraine City” to enjoy ice cream at the Colrain Inn. There are seats for only 26, so early registration is advised. Call Belden Merims at 624-3453 to reserve seats. She must have your name, phone number and check or cash, no credit cards, no later than Oct. 10.
