Excellent lil gem! We loved learning about the history of the trains,AND the town! The volunteers were friendly and helpful. Great stop if you can swing by, then you can walk along the river after.

Nice little history of Batavia Museum. They are working on raising money for an expansion. They have many more items they are not able to display because of space. The main Museum is an old train depot from the 1800s. They have some unusual items, a bed and dresser from an insane asylum that Mary Todd Lincoln stayed in.

Batavia Depot Museum.What a cool place. Alot of exhibits for the space. Full basement with the full history of the area including Native Americans. The Depots history is cool. Volunteers on duty for questions. Clean restrooms. My favorite is the caboose, open to public..Check out the abbreviated hours before you stop in. Well worth your time.Our American history is Very, Very important !!
