Built in 1868, The Cambria Freight Station, also known as the Christianburg Depot, is an historic railroad depot in Christiansburg, Virginia. It is a simple one-story, wooden structure built in the Italianate style and is only one of two depots of this style left in in Virginia. The building houses a local history museum known as the Cambria Depot Museum. It also houses the studio of the The Scale Cabinetmaker, an internationally acclaimed miniature hobby publication. Many of the studio's models are on display. The museum features exhibits on the restoration of the depot and the Cambria community. The depot was listed to the National Register of Historic Places and named to the Virginia Landmarks Register in 1985.
