Ulster & Delaware Railroad Historical Society, Railroad Historical Society in Roxbury, New York
The Ulster & Delaware Railroad Historical Society is an organization in Roxbury that preserves the history of railway operations in the Catskill Mountains. The Depot Museum displays original locomotives, rail cars, uniforms, timetables, and personal items from different periods of the railroad's past.
The organization documents the railway company that began in 1866 and connected Kingston to Delhi through the Catskill Mountains. This line opened remote areas to trade and settlement and became essential to regional development.
The organization shows how the railroad shaped life in the Catskill region and why this transportation link mattered to everyday people. Visitors see through displayed objects how important the railway was for local trade and community connections.
A visit requires no special preparation and works well for all ages and interests. The exhibits are easy to view up close and are clearly labeled, so you can explore at your own pace with family or friends.
Volunteers actively restore vintage rail cars and steam locomotives by hand to maintain their mechanical systems. This ongoing restoration effort brings real machinery back to working condition for visitors to appreciate.
