Railroad service through Butler began on May 1, 1872 with the opening of the New Jersey Midland Railroad from Pompton Township to Middletown, New York. However, the station at the time was known as West Bloomingdale.[3][2] The station depot, built in Stick–Eastlake architecture in 1888,[5] currently serves as the Butler Museum, a local nonprofit historical entity. The National Register of Historic Places added Butler station to its listings on January 24, 2002 for its transportation significance.[9]
The station is used as the Butler Museum.[10] Operated by the Butler Historical Society, the museum's collections focus on the borough's social, industrial and cultural history.
