The station is the primary museum building of the Andover Historical Society, and features an early to mid 20th century period station master's office. An early 20th century caboose is located next to the station.

The Society's other museum buildings include an early 20th-century railroad freight house displaying agricultural machinery and ice harvesting tools, a restored turn-of-the-20th-century village store, an early 20th-century post office, and a one-room schoolhouse.
