While
you're visiting Decatur, there's no better way to explore our
quaint, historic downtown than by boarding the downtown trolley
- the bright yellow & green "Pride of the Prairie!" Circling
the downtown area every 15-20 minutes, the trolley will stop
when you flag it down, and drop you off wherever it strikes your
fancy. The trolley drivers are friendly and knowledgeable. Park
anywhere in the downtown and ride the trolley to art galleries,
restaurants, shops and downtown historic sites.
A second trolley, the "Commodore Stephen Decatur," travels
hourly from the downtown Severns Transportation Center, west
on Main Street through the city's historic district to Millikin
University. There is a nominal fee of 50 cents to ride the Millikin
trolley, money well-spent to view the magnificent historic homes
and picturesque streetscape along the route.
The trolleys are operational from 8 a.m. to
6 p.m.
