PROject Waveland Trolley LOOP
Project Waveland Trolley Loop's goal is to secure funds to build an educational memorial honoring the historic Trolley System of Des Moines.
We are working to ensure that an important piece of Des Moines’ transportation history is preserved and recognized. The $275,000 project will update the original trolley loop located near the Waveland Golf Course to include an interactive streetcar sculpture and interpretive signage. This initiative will transform an historic but long-neglected site into an asset for the city of Des Moines. The Des Moines Historical Society, the Des Moines Streetcar Friends and the Waveland Park Neighborhood Association are all working collaboratively, to ensure the historic trolley line is long-remembered and understood.
The DMHS extends a heartfelt “Thank You” to the W.T. & Edna M. Dahl Trust for their donation of $100,000 towards this project. This generous donation moves us closer to our fund-raising goal to build this memorial, saving the rich Des Moines Trolley history and passing it along to generations to follow.
