Station museum in Newport News, Virginia

Lee Hall Depot, located at 9 Elmhurst Street in Newport News, Virginia, is a historic museum that was built around 1881 on the Chesapeake & Ohio rail line. The wooden building features a two-story central section with single-story wings on each side. The Stationmaster and his family once lived on the second floor of the central section. This depot played a crucial role in the development of the village of Lee Hall and surrounding communities in Warwick County and lower James City County. Although passenger service at the station ceased in the late 1970s, the depot was saved from demolition in 2008 when CSX (formerly C&O Railroad) donated it to the City of Newport News. The City, in partnership with the Lee Hall Train Station Foundation, restored the building and transformed it into a museum. Visitors can explore exhibits that showcase the significance of the railroad in the area, as well as learn about the history of Lee Hall village.
