About Lincoln Depot Museum
The Lincoln Depot Museum occupies a restored 19th-century freight and passenger rail station beside Peekskill Bay on the Hudson River. Lincoln made a greeting stop here in February 1861 while traveling by train to his inauguration in Washington. The museum's exhibits and programming focus on that moment and on the wider connection between Lincoln and New York. The site runs a seasonal schedule, with weekend hours during its summer and fall season, and posts events such as special first-Saturday programs and military history presentations.
