Three sold-out tours and a waitlist 🚃

This weekend we took guests on a journey through centuries of Scarsdale history—right along the roads where it all happened.

From a wartime headquarters to an Alexander Hamilton ghost story, our tour revealed the extraordinary history hiding in plain sight throughout Scarsdale.

A huge thank you to everyone who climbed aboard, our wonderful volunteer conductors and to the homeowners who allowed us an exclusive glimpse of Scarsdale’s heritage homes. Top Class Limo was amazing - especially maneuvering the trolley through our most treasured roads and driveways!

If you missed this maiden trolley voyage, stay tuned for our next departure! Become a member for advance notice of future tours.

Scarsdale and the Knicks go way back. 🏀 Starting about 78 years ago, the New York Knickerbockers came to Scarsdale to run clinics and scrimmage with the boys’ Scarsdale High School team. The Scarsdale Recreation Department seemed to run this annual event for about ten years. It was usually held at Scarsdale High School, except for 2 years when it took place at Edgewood School. . . 📸 John Gass for Scarsdale Inquirer
