History and architectural features

Built in 1898 by the Northern Central Railway, this historic structure is a two-story, brick and frame building that was designed in the Queen Anne style. It features a deep porch that wraps around three sides of the building. The property also includes the stone foundation of the original baggage house. This building was used as a passenger station until 1960.

In 1982, it was acquired by the Historical Society of Millersburg. It is used as an information center for tourists and visitors and houses offices of the Millersburg Ferry Boat Association and Millersburg Area Chamber of Commerce.[2]
