T


he rich history of the city’s past is housed in the Batavia Depot Museum, which is a cooperative effort between the Batavia Park District and the Batavia Historical Society. The museum is in a restored Chicago, Burlington and Quincy railroad station which was built in 1854, which was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1979. There are two floors of exhibits on local and state history to explore, as well as a 1907 caboose!


The Gustafson Research Center, in the lower level of the Depot Museum, houses the Batavia Historical Society’s archives. Researchers have access to Kane County court records, Tri-City directories, cemetery records, obituary indexes, local church records, probate and court records, historical books, photograph files, local business catalogs, and more.


For additional information on the Museum and its collections, check out the Batavia Historical Society web page at www.bataviahistoricalsociety.org.
