More About Saline Railroad Depot Museum
The Saline Railroad Depot Museum still sits on its original site. In the freight room-turned-museum, it also features a freight house, telegraph and passenger facilities. Operated by the Saline Area Historical Society, the depot is four blocks north of downtown, set back off North Ann Arbor Street, tucked behind a party store. The land is owned by the City of Saline and the building was given to the Saline Historic District Commission by David and Dean Zahn. The Depot Museum is open Saturdays for browsing and guided tours. If the railroad lights are flashing, the depot is open. Groups larger than 10 require a reservation.
