Good Golly....Missed Trolley

Presentation on the Huckleberry Trolley Line

Sunday March 22nd at 1:00pm to 3:00pm

Parking: Chester Railway Museum, 10 Prospect Street, Chester, MA 01011

Our 2026 Educational series continues with a historical presentation 

Join special guest, Steve Cormier, local author of three Hilltown History books. The Sacrificial Land, Life and Times of Parley B. Hutchins, and now, Good Golly...Missed Trolley. 

A power point presentation surrounding Good Golly…Missed Trolley, will cover the evolution and impact of the trolley system which progressed to the electric trolley that revolutionized mass urban travel. The presentation will focus on the direct impact that trolley systems once had within Western Massachusetts. The "Hilltown Dilemma" will be discussed; a lack of trolley service within this greater area, which contributed to population loss and economic despair. Unfortunately, the Huckleberry line would not provide the service that the Hilltown area desperately needed. Presentation will also cover the New Haven Railroad's numerous monopoly attempts to control overall transportation in the western part of the state. 

Trolley photos: George Ford Collection. The Good Golly book will be for sale at the event.  Hilltown Swag, Granite Saw Tee Shirts, Lost Railroad Tee Shirts, safety vests and other cool stuff for sale by donation at the event!
