About Intown Trolley
Intown Trolley has been touring the Kennebunks for over 30 years. When the trolley bell is heard throughout the village and along the coast, we know that summer has finally arrived.
Intown Trolley continues an early tradition of trolleys in the Kennebunks. The first trolleys ran from early 1900 to 1927, transporting summer guests from the local train station to their vacation destinations.
Our narrated sightseeing tour provides local narrative, describing our 300 years of history, from the native Americans, early settlers, the shipbuilding era, tourist and summer resort & more recently the Presidential summer home.
When you are visiting Kennebunkport, see the area via trolley to learn about our town and enjoy the fabulous view along the coast of Maine.
