This immersive two hour excursion provides an in depth look at the park, covering the historical significance of the land, the legacy of Dorothea Dix, and the visionary plans currently underway for the future of this iconic space. Guests will enjoy a comfortable ride while learning about the architectural heritage and environmental development of the grounds.
Please note that while this event is completely free to attend, space is strictly limited to ensure an optimal experience for all participants. Advance registration is required and officially opens on May 9 at 12 p.m. We encourage all interested community members to secure their spots promptly to avoid missing out on this unique opportunity.
The trolley is fully accessible with lift support, though attendees should prepare for occasional stops that may involve navigating grass or uneven surfaces.

We look forward to welcoming you to the Stone Houses Visitor Center to explore the past, present, and future of one of our city most treasured landmarks.
