Halloween Fun at the Trolley Museum

The Connecticut Trolley Museum will once again be hosting its popular Halloween events, Pumpkin Patch & Rails to the Darkside. These two fundraising events are extremely important to funding the museum’s many family programs.

This event is held with the help of the Shaker Pines Fire Dept. who add a whole new dimension to the frightfulness of the evening. The Fire Department also benefits from tickets sales with a portion of each ticket sold going to them. As the fall chill fills the air, on the darkest of nights, mournful cries of the abandoned dead are heard on the tracks at the Connecticut Trolley Museum.

Land Conservancy Update

The Land Conservancy’s South Grand Street property has gone through some recent reclamation work this past spring and summer. The 60-acre property was given to the Land Conservancy by the Tennessee Gas Pipeline as part of their wetland mitigation program last fall. We are happy to announce that so far a new parking lot space has been created for a few vehicles to utilize. There has also been the addition of gravel for the road leading to the parking lot, with a new fence at the end. It is the Land Conservancy’s goal to delineate and remove invasives in the cropland fields to deter them from seeding in 2019.
