Coordinates: 43°13′5″N 78°23′25″W / 43.21806°N 78.39028°W The Medina Railroad Museum is a railroad museum located at 530 West Avenue in Medina, New York.
The museum is housed in one of the largest standing wooden freight depots, built in 1905.[1] The museum is open Tuesday through Sunday, 11:00 am to 5:00 pm.
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[2] on a seasonal schedule as well as hosting an annual (May) Thomas the Tank Engine, Day Out with Thomas events.[3]
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.
