About THE OYSTER BAY RAILROAD MUSEUM

The Oyster Bay Railroad Museum is a donor-facing 501(c)(3) museum based in Oyster Bay, NY, dedicated to preserving the historic 19th/20th-century railroad artifacts and the landmark 1889 Presidential Oyster Bay station. The museum operates a station museum and adjacent display yard with restoration projects (including Locomotive 35) and educational programs such as simulators and school visits.

The organization is an active, operating nonprofit whose EIN (11-3222511) appears on public tax-filing databases and nonprofit registries. In the past 2–3 years the museum has expanded public programming and fundraising (including a TRAR augmented-reality educational app, grant-funded station restoration work, and a new annual Rail Fest), signaling ongoing activity and community engagement.

Notable achievements

RDLG $100,000 grant (station restoration)

Received a six-figure grant from the Robert David Lion Gardiner Foundation to support restoration of the historic Oyster Bay station and to establish the station as the museum’s permanent home.

Developed and deployed the Theodore Roosevelt Augmented Reality (TRAR) app—a grant-supported digital program that interprets Theodore Roosevelt’s connections to the station and enhances in-person and remote learning.

Regional recognition and expanded public events

Recognized for modernization and innovation by regional heritage organizations and launched new community-facing events (including the museum’s first annual Rail Fest) that increased visitation and public awareness.
