Tomball’s historic Railroad Depot sits where the main road crosses the train tracks in the city’s downtown area. It’s a small, yellow building that proudly displays the Tomball name on the side, commemorating the city’s important railroad background. Today, the railroad depot is a great place to take the kids for an educational weekend activity, and it even makes for an interesting afternoon for adults, too.
The depot is home to a variety of pieces of train memorabilia, antiques and a great model railroad. There’s also train-themed original artwork displayed on the walls, making this tiny museum into a sort of mini art gallery. In 2009, the city added the Railroad Depot Gazebo, a traditional white gazebo that’s ideal for a picnic lunch or even a small event.
There are a few annual events hosted at the Railroad Depot, including a 5K run, a Honky Tonk Festival, and more. For more information, visit the city’s website.
