Description

After a long day of enjoying Philadelphia's public transportation, why not stop off at SEPTA's Transit Museum and see how things got the way they are today? There's a restored PTC (Philadelphia Transportation Company) trolley that kids can board, as well as historical photographs and artifacts from one of the country's oldest public transportation systems. There's also a gift shop selling shirts, hats, postcards and a lot of books and models. The museum is free.
