In 1888, this site was the original location of the Orange Belt Railway Station. A newer station was built in 1900, but burned down. The present station was built in 1924 and was used by the Atlantic Coast Railroad Company until the railroad was discontinued in the late 1970s. By the late 1980s, the tracks were removed and the Pinellas Trail came to occupy the track bed. The station is one of only a few remaining buildings that exemplify the area's railroad history, and today the building is occupied by the Dunedin Historical Society and Museum, which showcases collections from Dunedin's history.
