Mr. Rogers’ Neighborhood Trolley

Yes, I was one of Mr. Rogers’ neigh­bors, watch­ing him hang his coat, put on his cardi­gan sweater, and trade his dress shoes for sneak­ers as he did daily for more than 30 years (I’m still dying to visit the chew­ing gum fac­tory!). One of his sweaters (which were hand-knitted by his mother) actu­ally hangs in the Smith­son­ian as a tes­ta­ment to his legacy.

While noth­ing may say “Mr. Rogers” like a cardi­gan, it pales in com­par­i­son to the won­der­ful trol­ley that would whisk you away to the Neigh­bor­hood of Make-Believe. It turns out that Hol­gate Toys actu­ally offers a beau­ti­ful replica of the Neigh­bor­hood Trol­ley that was com­mis­sioned by none other than Mr. Rogers him­self. I would’ve died to have my own trol­ley when I was younger!

You can pick up a trol­ley of your very own for $60 at Crafts­bury Kids. Cool!
