The Dade City Heritage Museum is reopening and inviting the community to rediscover the stories, artifacts, and railroad heritage that make Dade City charming and unique.

Located in the historic 1912 train depot, the museum offers a meaningful look at local history from Dade City’s founding in 1884 through the 1900s. Guests can enjoy historic photographs, World War II artifacts, travelers’ suitcases and their stories, hobo language displays, and popular model train exhibits for all ages.

We’re also excited to kick off our event season on Saturday, June 20, from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. with Rail Fan Fest. Mark your calendar, this special evening will feature model trains, views of the active CSX trains and track, guest speakers, tours, food, and a welcoming atmosphere for families, history lovers, and train enthusiasts alike.

Beginning May 2nd 2026 museum hours are Thursday through Saturday, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. We hope you’ll come visit, support the museum, and help us preserve Dade City’s legacy for future generations.
