The museum has been at its current location since 1983, a former Canadian National Railway station which was opened in 1936.

[4] The storey-and-a-half structure is an example of a 2nd Class CNR Station, which were built in communities of notable size.

Like other stations of this type, the building features paired tall sash windows, broad cross-gabled hipped roof with deep bellcast eaves supported by decorative brackets, and ornamental half-timbering in the gable front over the office.

[1] The station is a long rectangle shape, "covered by a low-pitched hipped shingled roof, with a gable-roofed crossing wing terminating at the front in a shallow bay with windows on three sides."

The Canadian Register of Historic Places notes the following features and ornamentation at the station:the light-painted stucco cladding, the organization of the fenestration: large window openings containing paired tall sash windows divided horizontally into three: a square pane at the top with a larger oblong pane in the middle and small sliding ventilating panes at the bottom, the main passenger doorway at centre right, with freight doors to the left, the contrasting-coloured ornamental half, timbering in the gable front, the deep eaves, supported by large, decorative wooden brackets.
