June 13: Trolley Tours And Model T Rides On Foxborough Founders’ Day!

Take a break from Foxborough Founders’ Day field activities and enjoy a refreshingly fun ride through town by hopping on board a trolley, a 1910 Model T Touring car, or both!

Designed mostly for children, the trolley tours will be entertaining and informative for both children and adults. While Katie Lawson is guiding the in-town trolley tours and imparting some fun tid-bits of the town’s history, Nancy and Dave will be escorting passengers in their antique car on a shorter jaunt through Foxborough.

The ticket booth and departure location for both transportation modes is the Igo Building’s South Street parking lot. Tickets for the historical trolley tours are: $1 per child (under 12); $2 per adult; and $5 per family. Rain or Shine, the trolley will depart every 30 minutes between noon and 2:30 p.m. The price to ride in the Model T is $5 per car load; children must be accompanied by an adult.

All proceeds will be devoted solely to the preservation of the Foxborough Universalist Church building - the oldest church building in town and the oldest building on the Foxborough Common. Come join the fun on the trolley and Model T on Founders’ Day!
