Welcome to the Historic Greenup Depot

Our mission is to preserve the memory of the trains and small town depots that served America throughout the 19th and 20th Centuries. The Museum acquires and preserves artifacts from both railroading and telegraph history, maintaining a collection of audio, visual, and textual materials related to them. 

The Historic Greenup Depot has been serving the community since 1870. Located on the Historic National Road, the building itself has served the Terre Haute and Vandalia railroad (better known as the Vandalia Line), the Pennsylvania, the Penn-Central, and the Illinois Central.  Although the Depot has been moved from its original location, it is a pleasant reminder of a bygone era and is rich with antiques and railroading history.

The Greenup Depot is open year round (Christmas, Thanksgiving, and Easter excluded).

Hours:   10:00 AM - 4:00 PM (Monday - Saturday)                                                                                             12:00 Noon - 4:00 PM (Sunday)

Admission: Free (Donations accepted)
