About this event
Description
A little over a century ago, the discovery and commercialization of electric power helped create a new industry: Electric interurban trolleys. These trains offered clean and efficient transportation for urban and rural riders alike, and a huge network of these lines grew up in the United States. Join us at the Little White School Museum with Doug Rundell, a volunteer at the Fox River Trolley Museum in South Elgin, IL, who will present a talk covering the fascinating history of some lines that served Chicago and one line that served the Fox River Valley as far south as Yorkville.
