The Roscoe O & W Railway Museum, established in 1984, celebrates the rich history of the New York Ontario Western Railway and its significant impact on Sullivan County's tourism, industry, and agriculture. Housed in a refurbished building with a storied past, the museum is dedicated to preserving and showcasing the stories of the railway and its community contributions. Despite facing challenges from severe flooding in 2006, dedicated volunteers are actively working to revitalize the museum's exhibits and introduce interactive displays aimed at engaging a new generation of railway enthusiasts. With planned train layouts and educational sections covering various local industries, the museum aims to foster interest among families and children while honoring the legacy of the NYO W.
