The Museum building was originally the Spencerport Trolley Depot which serviced Spencerport as a stop on the Rochester, Lockport and Buffalo interurban trolley line from 1908 to 1931.With our world travel planner, Spencerport attractions like Spencerport Depot & Canal Museum can be center stage of your vacation plans, and you can find out about other attractions like it, unlike it, near it, and miles away.
In the 1930's it was moved to Amity St. and turned into a house. In 2002, Maxine Davison bought and donated the building to the Village of Spencerport so that it could be "used for the good of the community"
On May 23, 2005 the building was moved to its current location and restored. Thanks to many hours of volunteer work Spencerport now has this lovely museum showcasing artifacts and the history of the village.
It also serves as a visitor center with shower facilities and restrooms for boaters who are able to dock outside.
