Historical Trolley Tours narrated by the Saline Historical Society on August 9th

Take a break and enjoy a short narrated History in Motion trolley ride to the Sauk Trail Heritage route to the Rentschler Farm Museum. The Farm is celebrating its 10th anniversary this year. Spend a few minutes walking through the farm house, seeing the barns up-close, check out the farm garden and visit with the sheep, chickens >and geese. The gift shop will be open with bottled water and bathroom facilities available. The kids will love it and then it's back on the trolley for the return downtown to more Summerfest fun.
