In 1984, the Indian River County Historical Society bought Vero’s 1903 railroad station from the Florida East Coast Railway for one dollar. There was a condition: the station had to move. The city already owned a parcel it had acquired in 1924 for just that purpose. The restored building opened in 1987. You can find it today at 2336 14th Avenue.
