Great Falls and Old Dominion Trolley

Great Falls and Old Dominion Trolley

Join local historian Karen Washburn for an engaging and informative talk about the Great Falls and Old Dominion Trolley, which ran from Georgetown to Great Falls. When it opened in 1906 it changed the countryside along its route forever. The trolley company advertised a quick and easy ride to the city which brought on new subdivisions, new types of farming, new place names, and a beautiful new park at Great Falls. Adults.

Sponsored by the Friends of the Great Falls Library.
