History

In the early 1970s Chris Belland, Mo Mosher, and Ed Swift combined efforts to restore historic storefronts in Key West, Florida. They saw that an increasing number of tourists were coming to the area, and therefore started Old Town Trolley tours to provide tours for visitors. They started with a converted bread truck and a homemade trailer. By the 1980s they were able to buy completely new equipment and they started touring trolleys in various cities, including Boston, Nashville, San Diego, Savannah, St. Augustine, and Washington, D.C.. The St. Augustine touring trolleys, the latest of the various city tours, were added in 2001.[3]
