The St. Johnsbury Railroad Heritage Society Inc. is a non-profit organization based in St. Johnsbury, Vermont, dedicated to preserving the history of railroads in the region. The society was founded in 1993 by a group of railroad enthusiasts who were passionate about the rich legacy of railroads in the St. Johnsbury area.

The society operates a museum and a model railroad display in the historic depot building in St. Johnsbury. The museum features exhibits on the history of railroads in the region, including artifacts, photographs, and documents from the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The model railroad display recreates the St. Johnsbury area in miniature, complete with detailed models of trains, stations, and landscapes.

In addition to its museum and model railroad display, the St. Johnsbury Railroad Heritage Society Inc. also sponsors educational programs and events throughout the year. These include lectures, workshops, and field trips focused on the history and technology of railroads.

The society is run by a volunteer board of directors and relies on donations and membership fees to support its operations. It is a vital resource for anyone interested in the history of railroads in Vermont and New England.
