The town of Tiburon is a short drive away from Corte Madera and features an original train depot from the extension of the San Francisco and North Pacific Railroad to Point Tiburon. The extension was built in 1884 and ran until 1967. After that, the depot and shoreline were given to the town for a museum and open space. Now you and your children can go to this museum to see and learn about the Point Tiburon yard in the first decade of the 20th century and see a replica scale model. On the second floor of the depot, you can see a restored stationmaster’s residence from the time between 1913 and 1940. The museum is featured on the National Register of Historic Places and is the only surviving dual use terminal west of the Hudson River. The Tiburon Railroad and Ferry Museum is open from April to October on Wednesdays, Fridays and weekends, from 1 to 4 p.m.
