The Manassas Railroad Depot, built in 1914, serves as the City’s Visitor Center and is the signature icon of Historic Downtown. It is a working train station and home to the offices of Historic Manassas, Inc. (HMI), a Virginia Main Street organization. It's also a busy stop for Virginia Railway Express (VRE) commuter trains and Amtrak service. VRE connects passengers to Washington, D.C., while Amtrak lines run from Lynchburg through Manassas and connect the City to the entire country by rail.
