The Schoharie Valley Railroad Museum is one of the few short-line yards that have preserved their original bldgs. that were in use during the SVRR,s tenure.Most railyards did not preserve these artifacts, and the few that are still around are disappearing at an alarming rate. Rail fans all over this country are scrambling to record these structures in photos, but we are determined to main-tain and save our precious history.

The Schoharie Colonial Heritage Association (SCHA) was formed in 1971 to acquire and preserve certain historical sites in and around the Village of Schoharie. One of these sites was the abandoned R.R.bldgs. on Depot Lane. These bldgs. had not been in use since the demise of the railroad. They consist of a station house,freight house/engine house, weigh station, creamery and old mill. All of theae bldgs. are open to the public, including an historical passenger car.
