We are located in the Historic Depot at the western entrance of Tower. The grounds consist of the depot, a steam locomotive engine, passenger car, mancar, caboose, and homesteaders’ cabin, all open to the public.
The depot itself houses a museum with hundreds of local artifacts and photos. It also serves as the information center for the Lake Vermilion Resort Association and the Lake Vermilion Chamber of Commerce.
The land, steam locomotive, coach and depot were donated by the Duluth, Mesabi & Iron Range Railroad Company for historical purposes, while the additional cars and cabin were acquired and restored through the hard work of local community members.
