If you’re looking to experience the fall foliage in a unique way, then a ride at the Rockhill Trolley Museum may be a picturesque place to consider. You can take a 3-mile round-trip ride aboard an old-fashioned, historic electric trolley. Then stop by the museum and maintenance shop to learn about the work and restoration that goes into keeping the trolleys running.
