Freight Station Museum

This two-story freight station was built around the 1870's by the Cumberland Valley Railroad to house incoming and outgoing freight and was used as such until the 1950's. The Mechanicsburg Museum Association purchased the station in 1987 to complement the town's "historic district." Now known as the "Museum at the Freight Station". The museum offers many exhibits throughout the year which focus on areas of community and local interest. Additionally, collections relative to the CVRR, Civil War, early town business and Native Americans are periodically exhibited. The Freight Station is also home to the Museum Store, which carries distinctive specialty items and heritage crafts from Mechanicsburg.
