Experience a unique transportation journey with the Minnesota Streetcar Museum. The Como-Harriet and Excelsior Streetcar Lines are living history museums that offer a ride on the city's streetcar system, taking you back in time. Explore the historic displays, shop for unique souvenirs, and take a nostalgic ride on one of the landmark streetcars along the picturesque route between the lakes. Enjoy a remarkable trip through historic Excelsior along a half-mile track built on the former right-of-way of the Minneapolis and St. Louis Railway, where the car stops at our barn. You can view a photo gallery of hotels, trains, paddlewheel boats, and landmarks from the 1800s. The Museum also provides an opportunity to learn about the history of Twin Cities Rapid Transit as it ran in Minneapolis and St. Paul, other streetcars in the collection, and the work in progress of restoring a vintage streetcar.

Whether you're looking for tours, private events, or community programming, their knowledgeable guides help you experience something new in a safe and engaging environment.
