Indiana - Griffith Historical Park and Depot Museum

Griffith, IN - This Grand Trunk Combination Depot was moved to its present site and renovated through the efforts of Griffith residents, schoolchildren, organizations, businesses and the Town Council.

The Griffith Historical Society. founded in 1983, was empowered by a Griffith Town Council resolution to preserve the history of the town of Griffith. At that time, ownership and operation of the Depot Museum was given to the Society by joint action of the Council and the Community Spirit Organization.

In 1994. the Society purchased the land adjacent to the Depot to create an Historical Park in tribute to Griffith's railroading past. The Griffith Historical Park was formally dedicated in May, 1995. The Park and Museum are open on the first Sunday in June till the last Sunday in August from 2-4pm and throughout the year for special tours.
