The Depot

Depot Museum opening June 1998, a completely restored depot built in the early 1900's, serviced the Manistee and Northeastern (M&NE) and the Pere Marquette railroad systems until the 1970's. Houses the collection of local train buff, Sonny Miller, and other original railroad memorabilia. The unusual angular shape of this building was to provide services for two trains at the same time, the M & NE and the Pere Marquette. These two companies were in competition to get to Kaleva first. The Pere Marquette won. Hours: Open Saturday (Memorial Day to Labor Day) 12:00-4:00. Staffed by N W Train Enthusiasts Club. Also see rail sculpture and poem by former student, Paul Cecelio.
