romantic forms of transportation – the electric powered trolley. Written by Amber Tatnall, YCCC library director, Randy Leclair, restoration technician at the museum, and Doreen Rogan, YCCC associate academic dean. “The Trolley Parks of Maine” examines the rich history of the trolley and the worlds they opened for the general public. At the turn of the last century, a new mode of transportation – the electric railway – transformed Maine’s towns and cities. The arrival of the “electrics” opened amazing possibilities for Maine’s citizens. To these socially diverse passengers, trolleys represented more than convenient transportation: trolleys broadened horizons. A new freedom of movement gave people new opportunities, both social and economic. Trolleys allowed people living on the outskirts of towns to commute to good paying jobs. Travel times lessened, leaving room in a person’s day for leisure. For the first time, anyone could enjoy a day out of the city at one of the many new “trolley parks” – all for the low price of a trolley fare.
Almost every electric railway in Maine had its own pleasure resort, whether it was a simple outdoor dance platform or a full-fledged hotel, complete with theater. The promise of musical entertainment, boating, bathing and other recreational activities drew crowds to Maine’s trolley parks. “The Trolley Parks of Maine” whisks you off to thirteen of the trolley parks all across Maine, from York to Madison to Rockport. This fascinating journey – filled with interesting historical inforSee TROLLIES page 24...
