Nice place to visit
It's not big, it's not fancy, but it is interesting and the people working there were about as friendly as one could be. We enjoyed ourselves. Reasonably priced. Kids enjoyed the push cart and trolley ride. Workers were so friendly and accommodating. If in the area, I recommend a stop here. Help support local small businesses like this that keep the past alive.

You have to ride the 114 Trolley that ran across the Bridge of Flowers
We discovered the delightful town of Shelburne Falls, with its artisan galleries, the potholes, restaurants and the Bridge of Flowers. What most folks don't know is the Bridge was built for a trolley, and that very same 114 year old trolley is running a short walk from the Bridge of Flowers at the Shelburne Falls Trolley Museum We found the signs at the end of the bridge directing us up the hill. What a treasure ! Car Number 10 that ran across the Bridge is restored and operating beautifully. Our $3 ticket gave us unlimited rides, access to other railroad displays, the museum showing period pictures of the town and Trolley, plus a ride on an old fashion pump car. The ride is about 15 minutes and well worth the short walk We especially liked that our kids could ride free, and the museum volunteers were very friendly and knew a lot about the towns history
