​Swede Hollow History Trolley Tours  
May 9 and May 16, 1999  
 
When the Friends of Swede Hollow learned that the Great American History Theatre was going to have a play about Swede Hollow they began to think of ways to increase the number of people who love Swede Hollow Park.  Eventually the  idea of taking people on a tour through Swede Hollow developed.  

The Swede Hollow play was a great success.  People from all over flocked to see it.  ​

Many people took a Swede Hollow Trolley Tour that followed afternoon performances of the play. ​

The first stop on the Swede Hollow Trolley Tour was Swede Hollow Park, of course.

One of the young actresses from the play decided to see Swede Hollow for herself. ​

The Trolley Tours ended the afternoon at Swede Hollow Cafe.  ​

There were refreshments and presentations at the Swede Hollow Cafe  ​
