Who Are We?

The Cambria Toy Station, the museum store for the Cambria Depot Museum, started in response to the question "What do you do with a 143 year old railroad depot?" The Toy Station is located in the historic Cambria Depot (built in 1868 by the Virginia-Tennessee Railroad and listed in the National Register in 1985) in Christiansburg, Virginia.

• Wooden Toys;
