The Lowville & Beaver River Railroad dates from 1906. However, the railroad has been out of service since the 1990s.
Today the depot is the home of the museum maintained by The Railway Historical Society of Northern New York. The museum is well worth a visit but be sure to contact staff before your arrival. Outside of the museum you can view their Shay locomotive, a snowplow and a diesel speeder.
