Railroad treasures from days of old take you back in history. This old Great Northern Depot built in 1913, houses two floors of railroad memorabilia. You'll find a railroad picture gallery, old trunks and luggage, bells, whistles, signals, telegraph apparatus and much more. Come and see the sights, hear the sounds and relive an era, as you stroll through the depot, at your own pace.
EngineerRemember when... you waved to the engineer as the train roared by? At the Old Depot you can see authentic conductor uniforms, a collection of hats and lanterns of all descriptions. You'll see the signs and symbols of the great pioneer railroads, like the Great Northern, the Northern Pacific, Santa Fe, New York Central and many more.
