The East Troy Railroad Museum, Inc. is a nonprofit educational organization located in East Troy, Wisconsin, dedicated to preserving and interpreting the heritage of electric interurban railways and trolley systems. It accomplishes this through the restoration, preservation, and operation of historic electric trolley and interurban railroad cars on a track built by TMER&L in 1907, with the current line representing the last remaining segment of the original Milwaukee Electric Railway & Light system in Southeastern Wisconsin. The museum serves visitors seeking historical insight into early 20th-century urban and interurban transportation, offering a tangible link to the region’s rail heritage through on-site equipment and related exhibits on a preserved rail corridor. Its work contributes to the broader museum and historical sites sector by maintaining operational historic rolling stock and providing educational experiences around electric rail technology and mobility history. Based in the city of East Troy, the organization operates within the museum and historical sites industry, positioning itself as a steward of a distinctive segment of regional transportation history.
