Tamaqua station - Tamaqua, PA - Wikipedia Entries on Waymarking.com

The station was originally constructed by the Philadelphia and Reading Railroad in 1874, which had earlier acquired the Little Schuylkill Navigation Railroad and Coal Company.[2] It is a one-story brick building in the Italianate style. An addition was made to the original 1874 building in 1880, giving it a "T-plan." In 1885, a freight house was added.

The station ceased train operations in 1961 and was formally abandoned in 1981.

In 1984, a local family offered to purchase the railroad station and proposed that the building would be turned into a museum, similar to Steamtown, U.S.A. in Scranton, Pennsylvania.

Following a $1.5 million restoration, the building was reopened in 2004 as a heritage center.
