Restore a piece of Delphi's past - Delphi’s Historic Interurban Train Station
— a beloved landmark that once connected our community to the wider region (1906 - 1932)
What was the Interurban?
In its heyday during the early 1900s, Indiana’s interurban rail network was one of the most extensive in the nation, linking hundreds of towns and cities across the state.
​
Sleek electric cars carried passengers and goods along more than 2,400 miles of track, connecting rural communities like Delphi to bustling urban centers like Indianapolis, Lafayette, and Fort Wayne.
​
The interurban made travel faster, easier, and more affordable than ever before, fueling economic growth and social connection. For many Hoosiers, it represented progress and modernity — a symbol of Indiana’s place at the forefront of America’s transportation revolution.
Help Save this Endangered Historic Structure!
Our Vision:
The restored Delphi Interurban Train Station will serve as a vibrant link between Delphi’s past and present — a self-guided museum celebrating the history of Indiana’s interurban rail system and its vital role in shaping our community. Featuring historical exhibits and authentic artifacts, we hope the station will offer visitors an immersive look into early 20th-century transportation and daily life.
As one of Delphi’s heritage transportation sites, the Interurban Station will enhance local tourism, strengthen community pride, and provide another meaningful reason to visit and explore historic Delphi.
