About Vestal Museum

The Vestal Museum occupies a former railway station that once greeted travelers arriving by train from Buffalo. The building was relocated to its current grounds in 1976. The museum also runs the Coal House, a small structure that once weighed coal delivered by truck and that was also moved to a new spot on a recreational rail trail. Exhibits focus on regional history, and the museum hosts lectures and events throughout the year.
