Another view of the front of the museum.

The historical marker outside the museum. This is indeed the second depot built. The first one was destroyed in the 1927 tornado that destroyed much of the downtown district of Poplar Bluff and killed 107 people. The new depot built in 1928 was the only spanish mission style depot ever built by the Frisco, it is the only one in Missouri that was spanish mission style, and it was one of the first former Frisco depots to be made into a museum.

The recently donated bell is now on a pole in the front yard. A special thanks to Joe Falvey who was very involved with this project.

This is indeed one of the last remaining Frisco depots in the country.

The old "Frisco" (really N-H) caboose number 303 has a patio built in front of it for outdoor get togethers.

This station is on the National Register of Historic Places.
