History
The Rossville Depot Railroad Museum is operated by the Danville Junction Chapter of the National Railway Historical Society, which maintains it as a railroad museum in the village of Rossville in Vermilion County, Illinois. The museum stands among the small town's cluster of heritage attractions — the Rossville Historical Society Museum, Christman Park, and the Hubbard Trail Monument — in a community that grew up along the old Chicago-to-Danville trading route, a path that became the state's first highway in 1833 and part of the Dixie Highway in 1914.
Nearby
Rossville is a village of about 1,200 people in Vermilion County, part of the Danville metropolitan area in east-central Illinois. It began as Liggett's Grove, a stop on the Hubbard Trail trading route from Chicago to Danville, which became Illinois' first state highway in 1833 and joined the Dixie Highway in 1914 — heritage celebrated each June during Drivin' the Dixie Days. Long known for downtown antique shops, the village also offers Christman Park, the 1857 Mann's Chapel south of town, and Christmas in the Village on December's first weekend.
