This wooden shelter recaptures the form of early California barns of the 1900-1930 era. Constructed in 1984, the structure houses the trolley restoration projects of the California Trolley and Railroad Corporation . Six historic trolleys were restored and refurbished to run on the downtown Transit Mall loop; at present, because of city budget constraints, the cars run only on a limited basis. Two trolley cars run on History Park grounds, with plans in progress for trolley tracks linking all of Kelley Park. Volunteers have restored and are working on a number of other historic vehicles.

Stop in and see the horse drawn street car, trolley cars, antique vehicles and the railroad inspection car, and let the volunteers show you around. On Saturday and Sunday afternoons (12:00 - 4:00 pm), trolleys operate on the tracks within the History Park grounds. They also operate for special events held by History San José and for educational programs for school children. Operation of the trolleys for large groups can be arranged by calling History San José at (408)287-2290.
