Company Profile

Founded in 1982 by a local female entrepreneur with a single trolley purchased from Kissemmee, FL, the company has greatly expanded and currently includes a fleet of four replica turn-of-the-century trolleys.

From our humble beginnings as a one hour tour of Salem, we now provide transportation for weddings, corporate events, bar/bat mitzvahs and other social gatherings.

Local historian, author and tour operator, Leah Schmidt, became the third owner when she acquired the company in January, 2004. Schmidt — a lifelong North Shore native and former college educator — has been a tourism professional in Salem since 1997.

Though we have significantly enhanced our business since our early days, one thing has always remained the same about The Salem Trolley: we are a family-oriented business that has earned our local and national repuation through dedication, hard work and a genuine connection to the Salem area.
