20th Century Railroad Club

August 27th - How about a family outing?
Board a motorcoach with friends and family to take you to enjoy the East Troy Electric Railroad Museum and a vintage trolley ride, then move on to a pleasure cruise aboard one of Lake Geneva’s sightseeing vessels for a journey around the shoreline of Lake Geneva.
East Troy Trolley
The East Troy Railroad Museum operates on the last remaining piece of the original Wisconsin interurban network. By 1939, the railroad was retired by The Milwaukee Electric Railway & Light Company. Since everything from gas to groceries came to East Troy by our line, the town passed a referendum to purchase the remaining 7.5 mile stretch of track and overhead for freight purposes. The Village of East Troy operated the railroad until the year 2000 when it was purchased by the Friends of East Troy Railroad, which today has 32 pieces of equipment with over 500 members worldwide, 110 active volunteers and 15,000 visitors each year!Take a trip back in time when life was a little simpler. Our historic rail cars travel a 10-mile trip through beautiful Southeast Wisconsin. Board at either the depot in East Troy or at The Elegant Farmer in Mukwonago. Meander through the depot museum where kids can be a trolley motorman, discover the joy of model layouts and learn about electricity. The gift shop features a unique selection of railroad souvenirs for all ages.
Lake Geneva
The village of Lake Geneva was a favorite resort for the rich and famous from Chicago and Milwaukee. At one time the only way to reach their mansions on the lake was by boat. For years the boats have cruised Lake Geneva bringing vital supplies and mail to their homes. Today this tradition continues with the Lake Geneva Cruise line and we will Cruise around the eastern end of the lake known as Geneva Bay and take in views of the many elegant, historic estates while you listen to the narration about the area.
