The Indian River County Historical Society is a non-profit organization chartered in 1984 to cooperate in the preservation, restoration and maintenance of the historical resources of Indian River County.
It’s easy to pass by the small yellow and gray building on 14th Avenue and not give it a second thought. But you really should, for inside what was once the passenger portion of the Vero Beach train station is well worth taking the time to see and, above all, appreciate.
