Located in the old New York Central freight depot in
Medina, NY, the Medina Railroad Museum is the largest freight
depot museum in the country. The building itself was built in 1905, and is
one of the largest (301ft. by 34ft.),
last surviving wooden freight depots in the United States.
Featuring the
largest collection of artifacts and memorabilia known
to exist under one roof. Also see the longest
HO
scale layout and diorama all on one floor, an immense 14ft. by 204ft,
currently under construction. You can also browse
our lovely
gift
shop.
Come and see our greatest artifact of all -- our
over 100 year old NYC freight depot! This beautifully restored
building now houses our huge collection of artifacts and unbelievable
HO
scale layout.
View of the refinished freight depot office area. This area now serves as
the lobby to the museum. The desk and two typewriters are those used in this
office during New York Central times.
The replica ticket booth was designed to
blend with the original character of the depot office.
Our ever-growing number of exhibits and interactive displays show how the
railroad influenced our culture, industry, and history.
