2nd ANNUAL ATCHISON

CITYWIDEGARAGE Sale

Registration FormSaturday, May 30 | 8am to 5pm


The Atchison trolley and rivercity coAch are visible signs that Atchison is a premier tourist destination. Not only do the vehicles serve the community for special events such as weddings, family reunions and corporate events, they are often the first mode of transportation for visitors’ first look at our historic city.

The trolley is available for more than 300 regularly scheduled historic tours from April through October.

Thanks to your help, we have raised the funds and our new building to house the trolley and coach will soon be a re-ality. This year’s Chamber Golf Classic proceeds will help us refurbish the trol-ley. After three years outside, it needs paint and varnish. We’re excited about the building and giving the trolley a facelift. THANK YOU for helping make it happen!
