The museum is housed in one of the largest standing wooden freight depots, built in 1905.[2] The Museum is TEMPORARILY closed for the winter will reopen in the spring.

Its exhibits feature interactive displays, 6000 artifacts, memorabilia, photos, toys and a model railroad, all relating to the railroads of western New York. It also includes a collection of historic fire fighting equipment.

The museum sponsors passenger excursion train trips[3] on a seasonal schedule between Medina and Lockport - as well as hosting an annual (June) Thomas the Tank Engine, Day Out with Thomas events.[4]

In 1997 the boundaries of the village's Main Street Historic District were redrawn to include the building as a contributing property after research established that it was related to other buildings in that district.[5]
