In 1903 when the Burlington Northern depot was first completed, it was a model of modern convenience linking Red Oak to more urban communities in worlds totally different from life here on the prairie. Rural communities were virtually inaccessible by any method of transportation until lifelines of railroads joined them to more metropolitan societies.
Dedicated on December 20, 2003, on the 100th anniversary of the first dedication, the restored Burlington Northern depot now houses a WWII Memorial Museum, Self-guided Tour, and an orientation auditorium with a rear projection TV viewing screen.
The Depot is located at 305 S 2nd Street in Red Oak. Please call 712-623-6340
