In 1866 the Union Pacific laid out the town of North Platte and the tracks arrived that fall. Here you will learn how the railroad grew and even get a chance to imagine the excitement of a train arriving as you enter the Brady Island Depot built in the 1880’s.
Throughout the year the museum offers events that give visitors a chance to experience history up close. Cowboy fast draw, bailing hay, Native American dancing, even anvil shooting provide a picture into our past.
