Adjacent to the station is the historic La Mesa Depot Museum owned by the Pacific Southwest Railway Museum. The museum is a restored station from 1894, and has original equipment from that era including a Steam locomotive and Caboose. The station building was built in 1894, when the San Diego and Cuyamaca Railway was built, and it was moved across the tracks to its current site in 1915. Passenger service stopped in 1928, and did not restart until 1989 as part of the San Diego Trolley.
