The
Hudson Depot Railroad Museum is housed in a former train depot built
around the turn of the 20th century and chronicles the history of the town of
Hudson and the local railroad industry through photographs and artifacts. The
depot was in operation until the 1970's. A highlight of the museum is its
collection of several restored cabooses including a restored 1912 Wood-Sided
Rear Cupola Caboose furnished with railroad artifacts, and a Delaware & Hudson.
