The Minnesota Transportation Museum's Excelsior Streetcar is a historic streetcar located in Excelsior, Minnesota. The streetcar was built in 1908 and was originally used to transport passengers between Excelsior and Minneapolis. It operated until 1926 when it was replaced by buses.

In 1965, the streetcar was purchased by the Minnesota Transportation Museum and restored to its original condition. Today, visitors can take a ride on the streetcar and experience what it was like to ride on public transportation in the early 1900s.
