About Bygone Excursions
Bygone Excursions is a Palmer, Massachusetts tour operator specializing in curated trolley rides and vintage-vehicle experiences.
The company offers a range of place-based outings that combine regional history, local food and drink, and guided storytelling. Signature offerings include Pints & Pinballs, a trolley itinerary with stops at Seven Railroads Brewery, an exclusive tour and lunch at the Steampunk Museum, a guided tasting at Iron Duke Brewing, and classic arcade games at Pinball. The Secret Graveyard Stroll with the Spirit Sisters runs as a candlelit paranormal experience aboard a vintage trolley in one of Palmer’s oldest graveyards. The Quabbin Half Day Tour, titled "Stories Beneath the Surface," features local author Elena Palladino leading stories about the towns submerged by the Quabbin Reservoir. Hardwick Farms: Wine & Cheese travels scenic backroads to a historic winery, a local post office lunch stop, and a century-old creamery for cheese-making insights. Bygone Excursions also showcases restored historic vehicles, including a rare 1949 Willys-Overland Jeepster and a restored 1948 Chrysler New Yorker with distinctive rear "suicide" doors. The Jeepster appears at an antique-car show in Belchertown, and the New Yorker is presented in historical summaries for its design and noted appearances. Bygone Excursions partners with local businesses, named guides, and museums to assemble documented, place-focused itineraries that combine preserved vehicles, recorded histories, curated tastings, and guided storytelling. Reservations and schedules are coordinated online with partner venues and local event listings.
