The museum is housed in one of the largest standing wooden freight depots, built in 1905. The museum is open Tuesday through Sunday, 11:00 am to 5:00 pm.
Its exhibits feature interactive displays, 6000 artifacts, memorabilia, photos, toys and a model railroad, all relating to the railroads of western New York. It also includes a collection of historic fire fighting equipment.
The museum sponsors passenger excursion train trips on a seasonal schedule as well as hosting an annual (May) Thomas the Tank Engine, Day Out with Thomas events.
In 1997 the boundaries of the village's Main Street Historic District were redrawn to include the building as a contributing property after research established that it was related to other buildings in that district.
