The station was used for passenger train service throughout the 20th century and was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1997.

The station was built in 1901 by the Cincinnati, Richmond and Muncie Railroad (CR&M), which was acquired by the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway (C&O) in 1910.

C&O ceded the responsibility of carrying the sleeping cars from Chicago to Cincinnati to the New York Central.

[1] Restoration of the station began in 2003 and involved replacing the original Ludowici tiles with new ones produced by the same manufacturer.

On display inside are photos and artifacts from the region's railroad history as well as photographs of the surrounding communities.
