The station of Arco de Baúlhe opened in 15 January 1949 and was the terminal point of the Tâmega Line. With the closure of the section between Amarante and Arco de Baúlhe, in 1990, it ended circulation until here. Today, the old railway space integrates the Basto Land Museum.

The Museum highlights two saloon carriages used by D. Carlos and D. Amelia on the trip to Salted Stones in 1907. This journey precedes the opening of the station of Arco de Baúlhe: the carriages are not proof that the kings arrived here by train.

Also look for the revolving board, water storage and the old stalls. The dispatch warehouse hosts temporary exhibitions, while the assembly keeps the memory of the trips and work around the trains.
