Dennison Railroad Depot Museum

Description

• The Dennison Railroad Depot Museum, designated a National Historic Landmark in 2011, is the best example of a building still reflecting its WWII Canteen Heritage. Built in 1873, the Depot was once the site of some of the most extensive railroad shops & yards in the country with 3,000 employees and 22 passenger trains a day. It was located on the National Defense Railway Route and was the site for a WWI Red Cross Canteen and a WWII Salvation Army Canteen that served 1.5 million soldiers, earning the town the nickname Dreamsville USA,. Today, the Depot houses a Museum, the Trax Diner and The Whistle Stop Railway Shop. Open year round except Mondays and holidays, the Depot has a full calendar of events including Polar Express Train Rides in December. Exhibits are in the original Mens and Womens Waiting Rooms, Baggage Room and Railway Express Building. In 2008, a new wing was added to the Museum composed of Railroad cars. The wing includes the Childrens Interactive Railroad Exhibit, a rare WWII Hospital Car (recevied Save America Treasures) that houses the canteen artifacts, a fancy parlour car that displays changing feature exhbiits, an Art Deco Local History Car and a Postal Car that houses the Museum Archival Research Library. The Museum also operates two additional museums, Historic Schoenbrunn Village owned by the Ohio Historical Society and the Uhrichsville Clay Museum
