THE SATURDAY TOUR
See Abingdon the way locals love it
Roll down Main Street past the 1779 Tavern, the Barter Theatre, and the brick-lined historic district while your driver-host shares the stories. Step off for photos at the Muster Grounds, where the Overmountain Men marched off to change a war, then again for golden-hour mountain views.
Great before dinner Perfect for Creeper Trail & Barter visitors Family-friendly
Ride again. Hear a new story.
Our storytellers are always digging up fresh tales of Abingdon, so no two tours are ever quite the same. Ride once, ride a dozen times, and there's always a new chapter waiting.
Make it a full evening
The 6 PM tour pairs perfectly with a show at the Barter Theatre, just up the street. Ask us about discounted tickets when you book and we'll help you plan the whole night.

OUR STORY

A hometown labor of love

We're a family, born and raised right here in Abingdon, with a deep love for the stories of our little corner of Appalachia. When we found our trolley, it was a world away and in rough shape, retired at the Port Huron Museum up in Michigan. We saw something worth saving.

So we brought it home. We spent a whole summer bringing the old trolley back to life, piece by piece, until it was ready to roll through the streets we grew up on. Today it carries our neighbors and visitors alike on a journey through Abingdon's history, right where it belongs.

We'd be honored to share our town, and our trolley, with you.
