The grounds in the bus yard have been prepared to hold a loop, and most if not all of the poles have been set. The roadway in front of South Boston and the library has been widened for a loop, and the Museum as been actively securing overhead equipment (switches, hanger parts, wire, and the like) in preparation for installation. To the latest of my knowledge we were waiting on the arrival of another coach with yet more overhead equipment and the accompanying assistance from our trolleybus expert friends from another part of the world.

The $10,000 grant will pay for key components needed to complete the restoration of former Bay State Street Railway car 4175, a valued part of the museum's operating collection of historic electric railway equipment.
Restoration work on the car, which began in 1985, is expected to be complete in time for its 100th birthday, and Seashore's 75th Anniversary, in 2014.

It seems to me that comments that "sell" get posted, and the others get buried, are those of the "if it bleeds, it leads" varietal. This means that comments like "it sucks' have a better chance of being displayed than those that wish to praise an establishment.
I have a favor for those that regularly use Yelp... It was pointed out to be last year that we only have one review on the ratings website and it's not a good one (we only have 1/5 stars). A few people have tried adding newer, more positive experiences, but the website's filter hides in-active users comments.
If you can, write about your experience of the Museum as a visitor. Don't just leave a comment that says "It's a great place to go because they have trolley cars." Make it a meaningful comment please.
Again, this is geared towards Yelp users since those comments won't disappear in a few days.

Saturday July 7, the Seashore Trolley Museum hosted its Founder’s Day event by bringing out cars that don’t normally get used on a regular basis. About 20 cars were shown off, giving those visiting the ability to see all of what the museum houses for antique trolleys. After the parade was over, those visiting could take rides on each of the cars or visit the museum and its grounds.

Everything ran successfully with no mishaps. I saw many members from near and far on the property, including many whom I only knew from the membership list. Everyone I talked to were quite impressed with the appearance of the property and the variety of cars operated. Several cars which ran had been out of service for many years. Open car 303 and Dallas 434 took most of the day off while the following ventured to Talbott Park.
