Rollins W. Coakley Railroad Park & Venice Train Depot - Legacy Trail Trailhead

Overview

The Rollins W. Coakley Railroad Park and historic Venice Train Depot is the perfect spot to host a party, meeting or special event. This unique facility also houses a small museum with displays native to the Venice area and the locomotive industry

Since November 12, 2003, a cadre of trained docents from the Venice Area Historical Society (VAHS) has provided tours of the Depot building and campus to visitors from around the world. On display in the Depot waiting rooms are informative panels and exhibits developed by VAHS, illustrating both Venice history and Depot history. The presence of VAHS at the Depot is a major effort in preserving and celebrating the Depot’s history and its historically significant architecture.
