Limon Heritage Depot Museum, Schoolhouse, and Railroad Park

899 1st St.

The Rock Island depot has been repeatedly devastated by natural causes and repeatedly rebuilt. Despite the loss of architectural integrity, it retains the elongated look of a depot, with its trackside bay and antique rolling stock, including a dining car. The two-block site of the Rock Island's now vanished roundhouse, water tower, and shops has been converted to a park. Among the attractions is the last of the county's sixty-eight one-room Schoolhouses, a relocated front-gabled model with a protruding entry and shiplap siding, dating from 1905.
