the great overland station印象

What a beautiful building, very nicely restored. If you enjoy trains and history make sure you visit, several trains still go by everyday. Alot of history inside and out!

Fun place for train loving kids!! Big model train set up to watch. They also have a fun play, adventure area for kids. Santa arrives on the train in December making for a fun afternoon at holiday time. Many special exhibits there throughout the year.

The train station is not only great for train history fans but it also great for Western, Kansas and American history fans. The Building itself is beautifully restored and allows you to let your imagination take over and travel back in time to this station's prime. I also learned about the History of the Harvey girls. Staff is very helpful and they have displays for all ages.

Kinda far out of topeka but worth a visit. The corridor of flags just outside is wonderful to investigate.

Interesting exhibits, especially when they bring in special items. The model train is great. It was a wonderful location for a wedding reception we attended.

We had to do a quick tour on our way out of town and our guide did an excellent job hitting the highlights of the station. Beautifully restored with nice exhibits. You could spend about an hour so. We had also seen the restored Union Station in Omaha and this is another great Union Pacific building.

This train station has been lovingly restored and would appeal to any train buffs or people interested in the history of the local area. When I went there was a small exhibition about famous wild west figures whose lives were also connected to Kansas in some way - Buffalo Bill Cody, Wild Bill Hickock and others. Having a family connection myself with the Union Pacific, I found it very interesting.

The people there were very nice but in all honesty, there isn't a lot to see here. There is a nice train set at the entrance but that's about it in regards to "fun" things. The renovation work they have done is amazing but you can only look at that for so long. The price is a bit much for what you get but we don't regret going in. The kid enjoyed the train set scavenger hunt but that was about it.

There's a great display of every state flag in front of the old station. For the flag lover, it's definitely worth a stop!

While I enjoyed my time at the museum, I want to disclose that it wasn't until I got through the front door that I noticed the "no photographing any artifacts" sign. They were okay with photos of the building, its structures, the architecture, but none of the very interesting things related to railroading. This was almost a deal-breaker for me, but I'm glad I went on the tour anyway. I was given a tour by a very sweet older gentleman; I had thought I was going to be able to self-guide, but it turned out that I thoroughly enjoyed interacting with him and he knew a lot of the local lore. There's not a ton of stuff to see, but since I'm from Boston and didn't know much about the railroad industry, I was eager to learn.
