Streetcars at the Shore Line Trolley Museum, East Haven CT.
This museum was delightful: they have about a mile of track that runs through a marshy preserve; we got to ride in a real antique trolley car (ours had been in service in New York from 1906 to 1948; the tour after ours had New Orleans streetcar #850, which is supposed to have been used in A Streetcar Named Desire) and then the brakeman gave us a tour of the sheds where they keep many of the cars in their collection, some of which have been meticulously and beautifully restored.
