Welcome to the Chatham Railroad Museum!

We are located in the beautifully restored 1887 railroad depot that served Chatham residents and visitors for nearly fifty years.

Featuring an architectural style called Railroad Gothic, the building contains hundreds of exhibits and the New York Central model locomotives used at the 1939 New York World’s Fair.

A diorama of the yard layout in 1915 shows the depot with a turntable and the light industry in the area. Our “Chatham Railroad” exhibit has models of the South and West Chatham stations. 

Children are welcome to explore the ticket office and use the Morse code simulator, typewriter and rotary phones! 

We have a 1910 restored wood caboose which is open and available for children and adults to explore.

Come visit us and get your free “Chatham to Boston” railroad ticket!
