1927 Historic Venice Train Depot - Historical place museum in Venice - 303 E Venice Ave, USA

Beautiful 1927 train station. They have a tour you take, clean bathrooms, and a playground for the kids. The Legacy Trail goes right next to it. You will also find a couple of train cars, one of which is from the Barnum and Bailey Circus. Enjoy

We enjoyed visiting the historic sites of Venice Florida. It was a pleasant learning experience. As these tours are relatively new, the only suggestion I would have to offer would be to talk about more recent history rather than just the focus on the early development of Venice. While it was interesting, there were a lot more recent sites that could have been mentioned while on tour. The tour guide was dressed as a historic character and was talking about the life of that specific personality, some of which had already been discussed while at the train station. In doing so, we passed several places while riding the trolley in Venice that should have earned honorable mention. But overall, it was a great experience.

There is now an original restored Ringling Circus car on the premises. It is packed with circus memorabilia and displays. Just opened. Well worth the trip! It is donation only and staffed by volunteers. Open Mon, Wed and Saturday 10 till 1.

Public bathrooms and drinking fountain are a big plus for Legacy Trail bikers!

Amazing trail for biking. Love it

History of the Ringling Bros and the town of Venice. Since the pandemic only open from 9 to 1 pm on Saturday.

Had a nice 12 mile walk/run. Great trail....laat 2 miles were rough due to heat but lots of fun! Did a 12 mile power walk/ wind sprints this morning. I started at the Venice railroad station museum and went 6 miles north. I liked the trail and the bridges were cool for sprints...on the first half that is...😊 There is a few of the old train stops that were cool and offered restrooms and water.

It has a cool set of train tracks :D
