Historic Essex Railway Station

The Essex Railway Station, a restored historic site from 1887, serves as a testament to the rich transportation history of Essex County, Ontario. Following significant damage from a nitro-glycerin explosion in 1907, the building was restored and adapted over the years, ultimately gaining recognition as a site for railway memorabilia and historical artifacts.

Managed by the non-profit Heritage Essex, the station offers self-directed and group tours while highlighting the importance of heritage preservation through various public education programs. The facility also features a gift shop selling items from local artists and craftspeople, and its main room is available for rental, catering to small group events.
