Hyde Park Train Station Museum

The Hyde Park Railroad Station is located on River Road in Hyde Park, NY, at Riverside Park. A station was built at this location around 1851, when the Hudson River Railroad was constructed from New York City to Albany. That structure was torn down and replaced by the current station in 1914. The Hudson Valley Railroad Society (HVRRS)-- a society of railroad modelers in all scales, railroad history buffs, and railfans -- now maintains the Hyde Park Station. The HVRRS was founded in 1966 in Bill Comley's house. Bill was running a business selling model train supplies, and he started the HVRRS as a way to further the hobby. The first Train Show was in 1972.
