Experience the beauty of the Branford marsh at the most magical time of day aboard a historic trolley.

These special evening rides are scheduled to capture the changing light of late afternoon and sunset along the museum railway.

Each ride lasts approximately 45 minutes.

Advance reservations are strongly recommended. These rides frequently sell out and seating is limited.
