3. Electric City Trolley Station & Museum

DOWNTOWN.   In the 19th century, Scranton was well-known for its electrical trolley system – so much so, in fact, that it became known as the "Electric City." Although buses and cars supplanted its use, the system, albeit smaller, is being reintroduced to the city. This museum details the trolley's heyday, exhibiting vintage cars and memorabilia, displays about the use of electricity, a video of the trolley phenomenon, and glimpses of restoration efforts. Trolley excursions are available too, along with special exhibits for children.   (© 10Best)
