Built in 1889 by the Northern Pacific and Manitoba Railway, this unique example of railroad architecture showcases rural railroad life in Western Canada and how railroad stations were the lifeline of the town. Today the museum is home to a restored 1914 Canadian Pacific caboose, jiggers, railroad memorabilia and many other interesting artifacts. We are proud to be a National Historic Site as well as a Municipal Heritage Site.
The Miami Railway Station Museum holds a special place in my heart. My family immigrated to Canada in 1882 and settle in Miami, Manitoba. It was a hard life, scarce supplies, much sickness and despair, and yet my family survived and grew. Many of my relatives worked for the railway, helped build the railway and several of them, my great grand parents included, are buried nearby in the Miami cemetery.
