About Oyster Bay Railroad Station Museum

The Oyster Bay Railroad Museum operates two nearby locations within Theodore Roosevelt Memorial Park. Visitors can explore railroad history inside the historic station building and walk through a display yard holding full-size vintage rail cars. The yard also has a working turntable, which the museum says is the only one still operating on Long Island, and rides on it are offered on Saturdays in season when weather allows. A current exhibit covers Theodore Roosevelt's time in Oyster Bay, and the museum relies heavily on volunteers, members, and donors.
