A close-up of a historic 1887 water main pipe that crossed the Silver Hills Trolley Line trail in New Albany, Indiana. The Silver Hill Trolley, operating from 1890 until the Great Depression in the 1930’s, provided a link for residents of New Albany, Indiana to visit the forested hills west of the city, where Oakwood Recreation Park, the Silver Heights Campground, and the Highland Club were located. Eventually the area was cleared for agriculture, and housing developments, and today the area is part of the Silver Hills Community.

Starting in 2012 an effort was made with the establishment of the Silver Hills Historical Society, to preserve some of the historical remnants in the area. This led to the establishment in 2016 of the Silver Hills Historical Nature Trail and Wildlife Sanctuary, which encompasses part of the trolley line route, as well as Market Street Road, which was constructed at the same time as the trolley line.
