New Trolley Tour Launches in Philadelphia Ahead of 250th Celebrations

PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- A new interactive trolley experience launched Tuesday in Society Hill.

State and city leaders were on hand at Mother Bethel A-M-E Church for the ribbon cutting ceremony.

Curated by the Center 1968, the "Legacy Line" is an immersive experience that focuses on the stories of Black women leaders and trailblazers who advanced civil rights, culture and education in Philadelphia.

The tour makes stops at historic homes, museums, churches, and community landmarks.

The trolley comes as the nation prepares to commemorate America's 250th anniversary.
