Rye History Trolley Tour

Sit back & enjoy a glimpse into Rye’s rich history and environment through farming, fishing, tourism and civic life.

Please join us as we celebrate Memorial Day! This tour introduces riders to many important locations in Rye, featuring sites relevant from a historic and current viewpoint.

The tour, with ongoing historical narration, will leave the museum and proceed up Washington Road to Brown Lane Farm, work its way down to Rye Beach, then head up the coast on Ocean Boulevard to Odiorne Point and back to the museum via Sagamore, Wallis, Brackett and Washington Roads. There are many pullovers including Rye Harbor, the Cable House and Pulpit Rock Tower, as well as opportunities to disembark at the historic St. Andrew's Church, the former Drake House Hotel, and Rye's Goss Farm Barn.
