‘Anything on Wheels’ display comes to Pennsylvania Trolley Museum this weekend
Pennsylvania Trolley Museum will host its annual “Anything on Wheels” event on Saturday and Sunday, June 3 and 4 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day.
Visitors can see dozens of vehicles throughout the weekend including special-use trucks, antique and classic cars, buses, and even a classic boat on trailers. Guests are invited to ride different trolleys throughout the day and tour the Trolley Display Building which houses many streetcars visitors can board and explore.
On Saturday, visitors can see the Historic Parade of Trolleys during which one of the museum’s volunteers will narrate each of several themed parades throughout the day featuring Pittsburgh trolleys and others from the collection. A night photo session will be held Saturday, featuring vintage cars and trolleys alongside historic structures at the museum. On Sunday, the Ohio Valley Community Band will perform popular and patriotic music at 2 p.m. Children are invited to make a Spin Art craft, play outdoor games, and see the visiting layout from the Pittsburgh Garden Railway Society.
The museum welcomes those who would like to display a vehicle during the show, and the parking lot opens at 9 a.m. Pre-registration is not required and there is no fee for exhibitors, though contributions are welcome. Vehicle exhibitors receive two complimentary tickets.
