Anderson station is a former railway station in Anderson, Indiana. The Indianapolis and Bellafontaine Railroad reached Anderson on June 19, 1851. and would construct the extant station building in 1887. Rail service ceased after April 30, 1971, when Amtrak assumed most American inter-city rail operations. After abandonment, the building was purchased by Elsie Perdieu in 1983 to serve as a museum for displaying her late husband's, Paul Perdieu's, railroad memorabilia which he had acquired over twenty years. The Anderson Young Ballet Theater began utilizing the east wing starting in 1985. The station was renovated between 2002 and October 2003. The building was listed on the Indiana Register of Historic Sites and Structures in 1996. It was deemed a contributing property to the Anderson Downtown Historic District when it was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2006.
