Review & FAQ:

Nothing celebrates Tiburon’s rich maritime and railroad history like the Railroad & Ferry Depot Museum. Located in Shoreline Park on Tiburon’s charming waterfront, the museum occupies the former San Francisco and North Pacific Railroad Station House/Depot, a beautiful 1886 Greek revival building. The building was originally designed to be mobile and rested in a few different places, including the wharf, before settling in its present location. On the ground floor of the museum there is a detailed model of Tiburon at the beginning of the 20th century, when it was a true railroad town. The model includes buildings, landscapes, boats, and trains as well as three ferryboats. The boats were part of a big fleet that ran between Point Tiburon and San Francisco.
