EDWARDSVILLE, Ill. (KMOV) – The West End Station in Edwardsville wants to bring you back in time.

It opened in 1927 as a gas station along Route 66. As the building aged, it was put on many demolition lists. Now, thanks to a partnership between the City of Edwardsville and The Great Rivers and Route Tourism Bureau, along with a nearly $500,000 state grant, it’s a destination.

The West End Station is located at 620 St. Louis St. It is open Friday-Sunday from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. Click here to learn more.
