Rails to the Darkside @ CT Trolley Museum
Oct 21 @ 5:00 pm – 10:00 pm

As the fall chill fills the air, on the darkest of nights, mournful cries of the abandoned dead are heard on the tracks at the Connecticut Trolley Museum.

Come for a scare if you dare…the next trolley ride is an express to the Darkside! During this haunted experience, ride vintage trolleys into the dark woods for a fear that you will never forget. Listen to the tale of yesteryear, as you learn of a hastily moved cemetery whose bodies were left behind…their angry souls seeking their revenge. Will you survive? The event will be held on Friday and Saturday nights starting September 30th. This experience is rated PG-13 and may be too intense for the squeamish.

Hours are 7pm-9:30pm (gates open at 6:15pm for ticket sales). Admission is $25 per person and recommended for ages 16

Along with achieving Rock & Roll Hall of Fame status and massive commercial success with The Cars, Greg has been a sought-after session and touring musician, and has worked with the likes of Paul McCartneyTodd Rundgren, and The Turtles.

In 2016, Greg collaborated with the acclaimed Boston band Eddie Japan to produce their 2017 album Golden Age.
