Since 2007 students at Capital High School have been working on the "Restoration of Old Trolley No.3" project. Chancy and his colleagues have formed a partnership with a local historic preservation group and community volunteers for students to restore a historic trolley that operated in Helena from 1909 to 1927. This intergenerational, community project has pulled together students of different trades to achieve one goal — to display the restored trolley in 2011 for future generations to enjoy. This year carpentry students will continue to reassemble the trolley and build interpretive display cases. Students in the Clothing and Textile Design class will replicate original window shades. Welding students will fabricate metal bases for display cases. Art students will create signage and exhibits about the trolley to accompany the trolley on display. This process of restoring a historic artifact emphasizes the importance of teamwork and community service. Chancy and his colleagues describe the project as "a gift of living history made possible by hundreds of helping hands."
