Re-Imagine the Danville Train Station

Dear Friends and Neighbors,

The historic Danville Train Station renovation project is well underway and will be a true jewel to the town and the users of the Lamoille Valley Rail Trail. The foundation repairs are complete, the chimney has been removed, a new roof has been installed, and the decks have been built!  The railings around the deck will soon be attached. Some historic doors and windows are out for repair and needed replacements ordered.

Much work has been completed on the inside to turn the former passenger area into useable public space and exhibits. We are very excited to have the Danville Historical Society’s expertise to help transform the agent’s ticket office to its original grandeur. The former freight room, to become retail space, is under construction.

To finance this project, many grants have been secured, as well as early business/individual donations, as well as support from the town of Danville through a previously established building fund for repairs for this building.

Our target for individual/business donations is $165,000 of the $775,000 to be raised. Fundraising efforts are at 92% of the total of $775,000. To complete fundraising, $35,000 must be raised through donations. Donations of any amount are greatly appreciated. For those who use and love the rail trail, we are hoping you will find the soon to be amenities at the train station helpful and welcoming. There will be restrooms, an information kiosk, retail space area, and of course historic exhibits.

Supporting this project with a tax-deductible contribution is a great way to assist in the needed renovations to the historic train station. All donations should be made payable to:
