The Pennsylvania Trolley Museum held a “topping off ceremony” to celebrate the last piece of structural steel being laid in place at its New Welcome and Education Center.  Local officials and county officials along with invited guests were asked to sign the final beam before it was put in its final position. Scott Becker, Executive Director and CEO of the museum says the new center will be much more than just a museum. The center has a class room and multi-purpose room so groups may hold meetings or celebrations. Interactive exhibits designed by the Carnegie Science Center will be available. Becker said that visitors will be able to have their own “Menu Experience” where they will be able to choose the types of tours and rides that they would like to take. Becker stated that they hope to have the 21,000 square foot center completed in the summer of 2023.
