HISTORY of LANDMARK DEPOT

Railroads came to Rockwell City in 1881. There were as many as four passenger trains a day as well as freight trains running through the town. The Milwaukee Depot is the only remaining depot of the original three. Service to the depot was suspended in 1975. There are two buildings which house artifacts donated by the community representing the history of our railroads. Railroads have always been an important part of the towns history. Maintaining the depot museum will be a legacy for generations to come. Proceeds go directly to the restoration and upkeep of the museum.

The DEPOT will be open on days of events listed.

The depot members are excited to get BACK ON BOARD in 2021!
​Please feel free to contact us by email for any questions and information at dkmdepot@gmail.com or call Carol at 515-571-4922.
