ON-LINE AUCTION TO BENEFIT THE WEST RIVER RAILROAD MUSEUM

The West River Railroad was established in 1880, ran from Brattleboro, Vermont, to South Londonderry, Vermont, and was discontinued in 1936.

The Newfane Depot was one of ten on the line and had been used for different purposes through the years until the Historical Society of Windham County was given the opportunity to purchase the Depot in 2014.

The Historical Society set about to restore the Depot and make it a museum for the West River Railroad. The Museum opened in 2017 and has been open every year to the public free-of-charge on weekends from Memorial Day to Columbus Day.

The purpose of this on-line auction is to raise funds for the upkeep of the Museum and grounds and the establishment of new exhibits.

The auction with over 50 items is set to begin on Friday, October 1, 2021, and conclude on October 9, 2021.
