Dickinson Historic Railroad Center: Learn About Dickinson’s Locomotive Past

May 12, 2016 by

In the late 1800s, the Dickinson Depot was a part of the Galveston, Houston, and Henderson Railroad Line, one of the earliest railroads in all of Texas. Today, the depot is home to the Dickinson Historic Railroad Center, a community center and museum dedicated to preserving this important icon in Dickinson’s transportation history.

The Victorian-style building is quite a sight to see, from its original red brick fireplace to its bay window that overlooks the train tracks. The museum portion contains numerous photographs and other memorabilia from the time when trains ruled the city’s industry. In the gift shop you’ll find educational books describing the Dickinson Depot’s history and even children’s books filled with colorful pictures, making your visit a fun and eye-opening experience for the whole family.

The Dickinson Historical Society runs the Dickinson Historic Railroad Center. The museum is open 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Mondays through Saturdays. It is closed on Sundays.
