About Medina Railroad Museum

The Medina Railroad Museum sits in the village of Medina in western New York, within a short drive of Buffalo, Niagara Falls, and Rochester. Its collection includes vintage passenger equipment and a historic depot, and visitors can also see a miniature train layout. The museum runs seasonal themed events such as holiday train rides, wine and chocolate evenings, fall foliage excursions, a children's day out with a famous tank engine, and bingo with beignets. Donations help restore its rail cars and maintain the depot. Visitors can walk in during open hours or call ahead to arrange a visit.
