[1][2] Xenia Station was designed by Schooley Caldwell Architects in 1998 and custom built for the city of Xenia by a local contractor[3] and is located on a 9-acre (36,000 m2) city park of the same name, which has play equipment, picnic tables, a picnic shelter, nature areas, a splash pad, a caboose and off-street parking.
In addition to the museum and classroom/meeting space, the building also has restrooms, vending machines and water for the bicyclists, hikers and others who use the park.
[1][2] As late as 1960, Xenia had three rail lines running through it, as follows: All three route saw diminished usage by the early 1980s: each was eventually abandoned and dismantled.
PRR's Pittsburgh-St. Louis mainline, owned by Conrail after 1976, remained intact until the late 1980s.
The crossing of the three railroad lines created six spokes on a wheel with Xenia Station in the center.
