Durham Museum

Union Station opened in 1931 serving millions of rail travelers and was well-known for its “modern” amenities and lavish style. Still remaining one of the finest examples of Art Deco architecture in the United States, Union Station is now the home of the Durham Museum. The Museum offers a fascinating look at the history of the region and offers a broad-range of permanent and temporary exhibits. Learn about history, culture, science, industry and more of the area and the United States from past to present.

On your visit stop by the Union Station's original Soda Fountain. Enjoy a fountain made soda or hand-scooped ice cream and more. Pick up some treats in the old fashion candy shop featuring nostalgic, hard-to-find candies. A museum full of charm and rich with fascinating history is well worth the trip.
