Free. Small: plan on half an hour. The building itself is the cool thing. Not a normal artifact oriented museum, but a historical building.

A place most people drive by everyday and never stop in. Well kept, interesting information and pictures. It’s the perfect size and casual atmosphere for my preschooler, getting to see the real caboose up close is also great fun! A treat to step back in time and appreciate the way things used to be.

A huge railroad company once had its foot in the palce and transporting people. M K T (Missouri, Kansas and Texas) Railroad Museum, Park, heritage socity, and serves as an Information and Tourist Center for visitors. While you are there collect the Katy city map and guide and other city related infirmation.The receptionist at front desk is very helpful and welcoming.This is a restored area to preserve history and the importance of the company.We must protect and maintain these kinds of historical places. Please donate while you are visiting this place.Katy (cane island) has lot of stories to tell. This place once called rice and oil capitol of the world. But rice did not stand in the competition. oil is still ruling.This museum has the depot that is historical corrected building and carefully built structure that serves the purpose of getting us to the past.There is a telegraph station, old Red caboose car and the station clock for visitors.Benches are there for relaxing and lawn for kids to walk around and enjoy the place.Admission is FREE.Hours:Monday to Friday : 10am to 3pmSaturday: 10am to 2pmA must visit place.

Small museum, Inside, museum guests can observe historical artifacts from the original depot, including train car lights, vintage luggage and old books. Theres also a replica of how the original waiting areas would have looked in the early 1900sIn 1895, when J.O Thomas, L.C. Luckel and R.M. Cash changed the name to commemorate the Missouri-Kansas- Texas Railroad, or MKT,Few parking spots available.
