"Finally, through the efforts of some of our leading citizens, a sufficient sum was raised by subscription to furnish the brick for a new depot. With this aid, the company commenced the construction of a new building in 1866 and Horseheads citizens had the pleasure of witnessing the completion of one of the best and most substantial brick depots in this section of the country.”...Volunteers began work in 1997. Restoration through volunteer labor, donations of services, and financial support by interested people came to fruition in the summer of 1999. It was officially opened September 18,1999. The depot now has display areas, a meeting room, gift shop, office space kitchen and restroom facilities, and storage space. It houses Museum displays and artifacts related to the history of Horseheads. It is a true testament to its longevity and to the dedication of the volunteers who gave of their time and labor to make this museum a place of which Horseheads can be proud."
