Norge Depot Association, Inc. Company Profile, Contacts & Intelligence

Norge Depot Association, Inc. Overview

The Norge Depot Association manages the Norge Depot, a historic C&O Railroad depot recognized by the National Register of Historic Places. Built in 1907, the Depot served as a stop between Newport News and Richmond, VA, and was a gathering place for the area's earliest settlers. The museum continues to be a point of interest for lovers of both Virginia and railroad history. While the Norge Depot closed to passenger traffic in 1969, it continued to be used as a railroad maintenance building. As its condition deteriorated, the railroad slated it for demolition. However, it was acquired by James City County in 1999 and, with funding from a federal Transportation Enhancement grant, the Depot was moved intact to the site of the James City County Library property in February 2006. In 2009, the Norge Depot was placed on the National Register of Historic Places. An exterior and interior restoration was completed in August 2012 and serves as a museum of railroad and community interest.
