The Narcissus is the sole surviving high- speed wooden interurban from the legendary Portland-
Lewiston Interurban (PLI). The PLI, known as the “finest and fastest in all New England”,
operated between the two major population centers in Maine from 1914 until 1933 and had
the honor of having Theodore Roosevelt as a passenger on April 18, 1914. The Narcissus is
listed in the National Register of Historic Places and is currently under restoration in Seashore
Trolley Museum’s Restoration Shop.

The Androscoggin Historical Society is pleased to announce that on May 23 at 7pm, Phil Morse of the Trolley Museum will present a program on
the Narcissus, it’s history, and an update on the restoration at L/A Arts located at 168 Lisbon
Street in downtown Lewiston.
