chicago & alton railroad depot印象
-
A beautifully restored old train station that teaches us how people traveled by train in the early years. Well guided tours of the entire facility that will interest those who like railroads or nostalgia.

This is a restored depot from 1857, and the man (you feel like he was also imported from 1857) who runs the place gives a neat little tour, which includes lots of different antiques. There is even an actual stagecoach from the 1800's sitting outside the depot and you can climb in to take pictures.

A group of volunteers raised money to move and restore this abandoned depot that was set to be demolished. They did a great job on it and now its open for tours. The depot sits across from the Binham Waggoner home, which is also a great place to see. While this is a small building, it is interesting and shows how the train company employed someone and they lived in it. Great for all ages and the tour is short enough to fit in with other activities like the Bingham and the Trail center.

This place is a wonderful place to stop by and visit. The price is right (it's FREE). We ended up staying about an hour. Our tour guide was a very nice older man and was very friendly and personable. The items inside the depot are authentic and they have done a great job in making sure the items inside are of the right time period. They ask for donations to keep the depot open and they have a few items like t-shirts and books you can purchase. We really enjoyed the depot and it had not been on our itinerary, my husband just happened to go by it when he was driving around town and I am glad he found it, I really enjoyed seeing it. This is a great place to see historical items, learn some local history and railroad history.

Interesting to grown ups but boring for kids! It is a freebie so worth the price of gas. But many other things to do that are more fun & interesting than this place!

This site was closed when we Rrived bit a very kindly gentleman opened it up just for us. He was very interesting and his love of the railway was evident in his story telling

Its not a large museum and it won't take a lot of time but, it's worth your time and effort to go see it while I the area.

Lots of railroad history - always fun to see and have different exhibits at times. Nothing to dislike.

I am glad the depot has been preserved, railroad history is disappearing every day, and having a piece like this available is very important. The tour is very short, as the depot itself isnt very big. However, the Frontier Trails museum is next door, so a stop over there will help fill in an afternoon of history.

We accidentally found this on the grounds of the Western Trails Museum. We liked it better than the museum. We were given a short but interesting tour of the depot. It had some interesting old artifacts. It has been beautifully restored.
