Operations

Streetcars at Lake Harriet are operated by volunteers weekday evenings and weekends throughout the summer with a reduced schedule spring and fall.

Streetcars at Excelsior are operated by volunteers Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday afternoons.

Volunteers operate the streetcars, sell tokens, and, at Lake Harriet, sell merchandise in the depot

Restoration

Volunteers help to restore and maintain streetcars during evening and weekend shop sessions.

Administration

Volunteers also serve in a variety of roles including board member, chief mechanical officer, general superintendent, safety officer, and more. Although not directly related to operations or restoration, volunteers in these positions are vital to the smooth functioning of the entire museum.
