STEP ABOARD AND RIDE TO THE GOLDEN AGE OF RAILROADING
Experience the Station Museum
Come visit, experience and learn about Railroading in the Hudson Valley. The 2 ½ acre site is part of a picturesque riverfront town park. The heart of our museum is the 110 year old Hyde Park Station. Restored and cared for by the Hudson Valley Railroad Society, the station is a time capsule from the glory days of New York railroading
Events
The Society keeps a busy calendar of events and activities for both visitors and members.

Model Railroading
More than just dioramas, our Model Railroads are recreations of areas of the Hudson Valley. Join members and volunteers to build layouts and perform realistic railroad "operations."
In the Movies
Considered a classic background and set, the Station has appeared in several movies including North by Northwest and Tootsie.
Our History
Our story started in 1851 when a one-story wooden station was established by the Hudson River Railroad, connecting New York City and Albany.
Our Future
The Hudson Valley Railroad Society, steward of the decommissioned Hyde Park Station, is leading the effort to restore, interpret, and reimagine a more immersive museum experience.
