How Streetcars Built Our Route 1 Communities

October 22, 2022 @ 2:00 pm - 3:30 pm

Today, the Trolley Trail gives bikers and walkers easy passage from Hyattsville up to North College Park along Route 1, but until the late 1950s actual streetcars traveled the trail south from Branchville all the way to the Department of Interior in downtown D.C. Join Eric Madison from the National Capital Trolley Museum for a look at Route 1’s streetcar past and how it contributed to the development of the Route 1 corridor.
