Transportation Museum Season Opening Sunday May 19
- New York Museum of Transportation
Sunday, May 19, 2024 from 11 a.m to 4 p.m. at the New York Museum of Transportation, 6393 East River Road, Rush.
The New York Museum of Transportation, in Rush, featuring the only vintage trolley ride in New York State, will hold its season opening on Sunday, May 28, 2023 from 11 a.m to 4 p.m.
The museum houses a collection of 14 trolley cars, several highway and horse-drawn vehicles, three model railroads, the Midtown Plaza Monorail, and numerous exhibits celebrating the transportation history of the area. In the gallery, a video presents the Rochester Subway in color, and a gift shop caters to the needs of all ages and interests.
Trolley rides are included with admission. Visitors experience the interurban era of a century ago as their trolley car winds its way on a 20-minute round trip through scenic countryside. The air whistle and the clickety-clack on the rails bring back a time when trolley cars provided fast, clean service connecting upstate New York cities.
All at the same family friendly admission prices!
$10 adults, $9 seniors 65+, and $6 youths age 3 – 12.
The museum is open Sundays only 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. and is located just 20 minutes south of Rochester at 6393 East River Road, Rush.

Hope Hall Walk for Hope 2024
Thursday, May 23, 2024. Our amazing students have been busy raising money for our Walk for Hope that will take place on Thursday, May 23.
They've been setting up their own fundraising pages and collecting bottles and cans to recycle. Some classes have even come up with other creative ways to help raise funds. They've stepped forward to help, and now we are asking you to do the same!
We are asking you to donate an amount you feel comfortable with, to help us reach our Walk for Hope goal!
Sister Diana is challenging the many generous members of the Hope Hall community to step forward and become a Sole Mate by sponsoring one or more of our students. Many of our students live in unsafe neighborhoods making it not possible or safe for them to go door-to-door fundraising on their own. This is why our Sole Mates are so important!
Please consider joining our community of Sole Mates by sponsoring a student with a gift of $25 or more.
To make a gift, click HERE. In the comment line, simply indicate Sole Mate.
No matter the amount, please know that your gift is greatly appreciated and we thank you from the soles of our shoes to the bottom of our hearts!
