In 1886, land in the village of Tonawanda was sold to the New York Central Railroad, who built a station on the site. The railroad still sees heavy volume, but circles completely around the center of town to the East, on a high, elevated line and bridge over the canal.

Today, the charming brick building is home to the museum of the Historical Society of the Tonawandas, housing exhibits demonstrating the unique history of the Cities of Tonawanda and North Tonawanda, New York. Walking around the building, you will notice Victorian era novelty decoration which includes, at each gable of the building, a piper, and his melody capturing the attention of a squirrel. The Historical Society’s triangular block of land also includes a 1925 monument In Memory of the Soldiers, Sailors, and Marines of the Civil War of 1861 to 1865 and a commemorative garden area with stone markers dedicated to World War I Veterans.
