San Francisco Cable Car Museum

Did you know that San Francisco is home to the world’s only cable car system still operating today? At the corner of Washington and Mason in San Francisco’s Nob Hill neighborhood, a museum is dedicated entirely to preserving the history of this iconic mode of transit: the San Francisco Cable Car Museum. When you step inside, one of the first things you’ll notice is the sound of machinery. You can look straight down at the massive winding wheels that power every cable car in the city!
