With a sleek design that makes it a Museum favorite, the Aerotrain has an interesting back story. Come hear about it at 10:30 a.m. this Friday (May 20). Museum admission required.

New York's City Hall Loop station was one of the city's first 28 subway stations. Constructed and operated by the Interborough Transit Company as the southern terminal of New York's first subway line, the station opened in 1904.
Rafael Guastavino designed the station, employing Romanesque Revival architecture. The beautiful curved platform proved impractical as train cars and trains grew in length. Also, the City Hall station was very close to the Brooklyn Bridge station, where most subway riders disembarked. So the City Hall station closed at the end of 1945.
Various uses (e.g. transit museum, restaurant) have been proposed for the station, but cost and security concerns have derailed the plans. Nonetheless, the magazine Travel and Leisure, in 2009, named the station the 12th most beautiful subway station in the world.

Photo of station under construction is a public domain photo from the Library of Congress; photo of one of the station's skylights was taken in 2018 by Wikimedia user Rhododendrites and is used via Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 4.0 license; photo of postcard is in the public domain.

Visit us today! We're open 9am-4pm!

Have you visited the Bookmobile yet?! Stop in soon to check out the selection of gently used books available for purchase.

We are also accepting donations of gently used books at the Orthwein Center between 9am and 4pm. Book sale proceeds benefit our ALL Aboard program, which provides Museum admission and a miniature train ride to a child in need in our community.

The Speaker Series is back! Here is the 2022 schedule, be sure to make your reservations as soon as possible (attendance is free, but please reserve a spot).
