Help us Save the Storehouse!

Erected between 1889-92 as an "Offices and Stores" building, the storehouse housed offices and parts storage for the construction and repair of railway engines and cars. It was crafted of brick and stone by supervisor James Meehan following a fire of 1887. The Storehouse is the only historic building remaining in Ludlow from the 19th-century construction of the Cincinnati Southern and Cincinnati, New Orleans, and Texas Pacific Railroads. The Storehouse has long been abandoned and the museum has stepped forward to save it.

The Ludlow Heritage Museum has partnered with Norfolk Southern Corporation to save and restore the Railyard Storehouse as the Museum's future headquarters and exhibit space.
