Train Station Museum Train Station Museum

Step back into 1895, when the most popular mode of transportation was by rail. The museum, formerly a passenger station for the Pennsylvania Railroad, was built that year.
Inside, learn the history of the station, as well as the history of the Madison-Indianapolis rail line, the first completed railroad in the state of Indiana, dating back to the 1830s.

Passenger benches surround displays of railroad items, i
ncluding a complete set of dinnerware used on the Pennsylvanial Railroad.
This diorama of downtown Madison highlights the railroad incline that took the train up to the hilltop on the west side of town,.
Enjoy the quiet surroundings of the passenger station museum,
with it’s iconic cupola with stained-glass windows. Passengers would have boarded
the train from the double doors at right on their way to stops in Dupont and other towns en route to Indianapolis and make connections to other destinations.
