Loved the real miniature train sets in many rooms. Displays in cases were very historical of many past times of Pottawatomie County, Oklahoma. Genealogy books of families and cemetery records too. Staff were very helpful, Cherita & Ken Landry with the Historical Society members have digitized documents on computers to look at or look up. Should really go visit with tour with your family.

Absolutely one of the best looking train depots in Oklahoma. Beautiful. Looks much like a castle from the outside. The inside is a museum and has a very low admission charge like a couple of dollars each. The museum is nice but lacks train items. It has war memorabilia some Indian items. But it is a train museum. The building is unusual inside and very nice to look at. It is my understanding they have plans to change some things.

Beautiful Old Train Depot. Looks like a Castle. The museum is lacking in train memorabilia but it is decent. I understand they are trying to get more train related items in the museum. There is a very nominal fee to enter. I think it is like 2$ per person. Its worth looking over the inside of the station. Pretty cool Depot.

I could see it just from the outside because they close at 4pm. It is a very small old structure. There is not much to see in town.

This was an interesting little museum. Its the old Santa Fe train station. Ive come here 3 times during the Shawnee Trail Days Festival. It has one room with a really cool model train that drives around a model of the historic town of Shawnee.

Theres way way more stuff in here than you would believe! The room inside the first floor of the tower has a model of town with multiple model trains that takes up almost the entire room. Its motion activated so it starts when you get near it. That was the biggest model train ive ever seen. Theres another room in back with a very impressive model town and train but its only half of the other one. They also had various antiquities there from throughout the days of the old west.
