The Fort Smith Trolley Museum celebrates its 30th anniversary this year! Be sure to join us for our special back-to-back celebrations. The annual Dinner Train excursion departs the station on Saturday, May 2nd followed by Open House on Sunday, May 3rd.
The Dinner Train is an approximately 4-hour round trip on the A & M Railroad from historic Van Buren, Arkansas north to Winslow (and back of course), complete with gourmet meal, lively entertainment and beautiful Arkansas scenery. It is the museum's main fundraiser each year. Full details and a registration form can be found at the above link.
Open House takes place at 100 South 4th Street in Fort Smith and is completely FREE, though donations are always welcome. Come catch a breeze on the trolley, enjoy free snacks and soda, and get a glimpse into the past with displays of antique equipment.
Have you ever wanted to be a Motorman or Motorwoman? The Fort Smith Trolley Museum needs more citizens who want to operate our trolley car. We currently have individuals who drive 1 to 200 miles to operate the car. Your schedule is what we would work around for you.
Here is all you need to do. On the 2nd and 4th Sunday every month from 2-4pm, you can come and experience operating car #224 which ran in Fort Smith from 1926 to 1933. During these times, you can just show up or call 719-7500 on Sunday for more information. You must be 18, a high school graduate, have a driver’s license, and enjoy meeting people.
The Fort Smith Trolley Museum needs your help. Maybe it would be for 1 Saturday shift per month or a weekday shift. Think about it. Come try the trolley car! We look forward to letting you experience the fun.
