O. Winston Link Museum

Norfolk & Western Railway's Roanoke, Virginia depot

The O. Winston Link Museum is a museum dedicated to the photography of O. Winston Link, the twentieth century railroad photographer widely considered the master of the juxtaposition between steam railroading and rural culture.

Located in downtown Roanoke, Virginia, the museum is situated in a restored Norfolk & Western Railway passenger train station and opened in January 2004. The building is included in the Norfolk and Western Railway Company Historic District, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999.[1][2]

It currently displays hundreds of photographic prints and has several interactive displays including audio that provide information on Link's photographic subjects.
