Steamtown National Historic Site is a historic site in Scranton, Pennsylvania, administered by the National Park Service. It is located on the grounds of the former Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad yards in downtown Scranton. Steamtown is a re-creation of an old steam locomotive yard and includes a working roundhouse and a railroad museum. Located immediately adjacent to Steamtown is a mall, and a museum devoted to the history of the trolley car, of which Scranton was the first city in the United States to have an electrified trolley. Steamtown and the mall form the nucleus of the revitalization of downtown Scranton.
