Trolley Station Museum
The Boonsboro Trolley Station Museum is located within the town’s original trolley station building at at the intersection of North Main Street and Shafer Park Drive. Electric trolleys served Boonsboro from 1902 until 1938.

In its heyday, the local electric railway company served passenger and freight needs of over two dozen communities across a nearly 90-mile network of tracks. From Boonsboro, passengers could take a trolley to Hagerstown, or to Frederick Middletown, Myersville, Hagerstown, Thurmont, Williamsport and several other Maryland communities, and to Shady Grove, Chambersburg, Greencastle and Waynesboro in Pennsylvania.
While trolley service in Boonsboro ended in 1938, the electric railway continued to serve Washington County until 1947 and Frederick County until 1955.
Within the walls of the town’s restored trolley station, visitors will learn about the station and industries which once surrounded it, the history of trolleys in both Washington and Frederick counties, the impact trolleys once had on the region and how the trolley network continues to impact lives today.

Located at 220 N. Main Street, the Boonsboro Trolley Station is the last surviving trolley station in Washington County, Maryland and was dedicated as a museum on September 12, 2009.
The museum was redeveloped with new exhibits in partnership with the H&F Railway Historical Society thanks to a Heart of the Civil War Heritage Area grant in 2023.
