Trolley Restoration Project update: The Jersey Shore Historical Society Board has voted to cancel the trolley restoration project.

It has come to the board’s attention that some necessary and expensive repairs are needed on the Samuel Moss House. The repairs include masonry and roofing work. Since this is the case, the Board felt the need to redirect the funds to the upkeep of the museum building and its artifacts.

This was not an easy decision to make, but the priority and mission of The Jersey Shore Historical Society is to maintain the museum so that the history of Jersey Shore may be kept alive. Our goal is to complete the needed repair work so that the museum can be reopened to the public in 2024.

If you know of anyone or group who would be interested in restoring the trolley, please message this page.

River Valley Transit Authority is requesting the trolley be moved by August 2024.

Interestingly, this car (or what is left of it) is believed to be the only single truck streetcar from Philadelphia still in existence.
