Heathcote's Forgotten Railway Exhibit On View Fall 2023 at Scarsdale Public Library

The “Heathcote’s Forgotten Railway” exhibit features archival photographs and artifacts from the New York, Westchester, & Boston Railway (NYW&B) that stopped in Heathcote from 1912 to 1937. It traces the spectacular rise and slow demise of the railway with particular attention to its roots in Scarsdale. Scarsdale Historical Society member Michael Zeller has loaned pieces from his collection for the exhibit. It will be on view at the Scarsdale Public Library in the Local History Center through the end of December 2023.

This exhibit coincides with our new documentary, The Road to Heathcote and the Forgotten Railway.

Artifacts include a model NYW&B train, maps, original Heathcote Station tickets and even a conductor’s jacket button.
