LEWISTON — Phil Morse of the Trolley Museum is set to present a program on the Narcissus, its history, and an update on its restoration at 7 p.m. Tuesday, May 23.
The talk will be held at L/A Arts, 168 Lisbon St.
The program is hosted by the Androscoggin Historical Society.
The Narcissus is the sole surviving high-speed wooden interurban from the Portland-Lewiston Interurban (PLI) railway. The PLI, known as the “finest and fastest in all New England,” operated between the two major population centers in Maine from 1914-1933. It had former President Theodore Roosevelt as a passenger on April 18, 1914, according to a news release from the society.
The Narcissus is listed in the National Register of Historic Places. It is under restoration in Seashore Trolley Museum’s Restoration Shop.
