The Norfolk and Western Historical Foundation is located in Roanoke, Virginia, and is dedicated to preserving the history of the Norfolk and Western Railway. The foundation was established in 1982 by a group of former N&W employees and railroad enthusiasts who recognized the importance of preserving the history of this iconic railroad company.

The foundation operates a museum that houses a vast collection of artifacts, photographs, and documents related to the N&W Railway. The museum is located in the historic N&W Freight Station in downtown Roanoke, which was built in 1918 and served as the primary freight depot for the railroad until the 1980s.
