What a hidden gem. We happened to stop while touring Hyde Park and met Peter. What a wealth of knowledge he had about the station and the area.

The interior was closed when we visited; but the station was still an interesting site to visit. The building and grounds have a comfortable nostalgic ambiance; reminiscent of an earlier period in this area's existence. It was pleasant strolling about a bit; and then sitting & enjoying views of the River.The only thing we missed, was seeing a train come by while exploring here; though we did have that experience at other times/locations along the water.Maybe next time....

We were lucky enough to stop by when it was open and we were able to see the displays inside and a train even came by. If the station isn’t open there is a signboard with the history of the station out front.

I live in NO Virginia on an old train line (Washington and Old Domain -- WOD) and love trains and everything train related. We had the opportunity (one of my life check list items) to take the train from Washington to NYC (I've done that many times) but to go north of NYC along the Hudson. I absolutely LOVED the older train station in Rhinebeck. Just a fun trip and a historic / fun experience! We walked 2 blocks to the Rhienbeck hotel - love the little town - love the river & views - just don't expect to find a restaurant or bar :-)

There is really nothing to see here. Most of the time it appears that it is not open to the public. However, there is a nice signs that talks about the people that passed through the train station and gives you some history. There’s a nice little playground if you have children as well. I wouldn’t go out of my way to go here but if you’re in the neighborhood is worth a drop by.
