Tales of Long-Gone Trolley ‘Trails’ to Be Told Jan. 11 in Lower Saucon
A century ago, the primary way to get around the Lehigh Valley was not by car, but by trolley. That era came to end by the early 1950s.
A century ago, the primary way to get around the Lehigh Valley was not by car, but by trolley.
The trolley era came to an end after World War II, and by the early 1950s most of the lines–including those that served Saucon Valley residents–had been covered over.
Remembering the Golden Era of trolley travel locally and regionally will be the subject of a talk by Dan Ruth, “Treasured Tales of Trolley Trails,” presented by the Lower Saucon Township Historical Society Wednesday, Jan. 11, 2017 at 7 p.m. (snow date Feb. 8) at Seidersville Hall, 3700 Old Philadelphia Pike, Bethlehem.
The public is invited to attend the free presentation, which will be preceded by a Dickey’s Barbecue Dinner (cost: $12 pp) at 6 p.m. Reservations for the dinner may be made by calling the LSTHS office at 610-625-8771 or emailing lshistorical@yahoo.com by Friday, Jan. 6.
The historical society has also announced new office hours, which will be 1 to 5 p.m. Wednesdays at Seidersville Hall.
