The Luray Norfolk and Western Passenger Station is a historic train station in Luray, Virginia, built in 1906 by the Norfolk and Western Railway and designed by the railroad's Chief Engineer, Charles S. Churchill. Constructed as a one-story brick structure with a hip roof, the building exemplifies Tudor Revival and Queen Anne architectural styles characteristic of early-twentieth-century American railroad stations. The station survived a lightning strike in 1908 that partially destroyed it by fire, after which it was reconstructed according to its original design. Converted to freight use around 1960, the building was sold to the town of Luray in 1999 and rehabilitated in 2009. It now houses the Page County Railway Museum, the Luray-Page County Visitor Center, and local administrative offices. Recognized as a Virginia Historic Landmark and listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2000, the station remains a contributing property in the Luray Downtown Historic District.
