The Chatham Train Station is a former station located on Depot Road in Chatham, Massachusetts that houses a museum. It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1978,[3] and though it is now home to a railroad museum for the town of Chatham, there has not been a connected railroad track running there for train service since the mid-1960s. The former Old Colony Railroad line ends in South Dennis and no longer runs to Chatham. Plans were made in the first years of the 21st Century to extend the Cape Cod Rail Trail into Chatham and west of Dennis and into Barnstable.
