🚂 All Aboard at the Depot

A train station from 1886 is a museum now.

The Howell railroad depot was built in 1886.

Passenger trains stopped coming in 1951.

It is a museum now, with a replica 1890s general store and the stationmaster’s office. It was the first Howell building on the National Register of Historic Places.
