About Danville Train Depot

The Danville Train Station is a historic site maintained by the Danville VT Historical Society. Its story covers the building of the Vermont Division of the P. & O. Railroad, which reached Danville in 1871 and drew crowds to watch the first train arrive. The society's page includes a history section, a photo gallery, and news about the depot's renovation and a 2026 preservation award.
