On October 22, 2022, Eric Madison from the National Capital Trolley Museum joined Corridor Conversations to discuss Route 1’s streetcar past. Today, the Trolley Trail gives bikers and walkers easy passage from Hyattsville up 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.
Unfortunately, technical difficulties resulted in portions of this presentation not being fully recorded.
Corridor Conversations are organized by Hyattsville Aging in Place, Helping Hands University Park, Neighbors Helping Neighbors College Park, and Explorations on Aging.
