About Conneaut Historical Railroad Museum

Housed in Conneaut's 1900 Lake Shore and Michigan Southern depot, this museum puts you trackside in a historic Lake Erie railroad town. Wander the former New York Central passenger station, on the National Register of Historic Places since 1975, then step out to the display track and size up Nickel Plate Road No. 755, the hulking Berkshire steam engine that anchors the collection.

History

The Conneaut Historical Railroad Museum occupies one of the signature railroad landmarks on Ohio's Lake Erie shore: the brick passenger depot the Lake Shore and Michigan Southern erected in 1900 to replace an older wooden station. The depot passed to the New York Central in 1914, when that system absorbed the LS&MS, and served Central passengers before finding a second life in preservation — the building has housed the museum since 1964. In 1975 it joined the National Register of Historic Places under the name Lake Shore And Michigan Southern Passenger Depot. Outside, a display track holds the museum's centerpiece exhibit, Nickel Plate Road No. 755, a Berkshire-type steam locomotive, while the freight house connected to the station is operated separately by the Conneaut Area Historical Society.
