About

This restored depot is home to the Michigan Railroad History Museum. Inside are dozens of artifacts from the railroad's heyday, along with very knowledgeable curators. The depot also houses a library and archive that highlights the history of the railway lines across Michigan. The depot has become a mecca of sorts over the years for railroad and train enthusiasts.
