Linden Depot Museum Preparing For Another Season

The Linden Depot Museum is preparing for another exciting season beginning Friday, April 1. Hours are Friday, Saturday and Sunday from noon to 5 p.m.

The Museum will be showcasing two new exhibits this year:  marble stairs from the Chicago Union Station and a European HO model train layout. The movie, The Untouchables, was filmed in 1987. The memorable scene of a baby carriage careening down a staircase was filmed in the Chicago Union Station. The marble staircase was replaced in 2017 and the Linden Depot Museum has acquired some of the marble stairs and has created a unique display.

Another great exhibit is being constructed and can be seen in progress. The Museum received a donation of European HO model trains. These trains are distinctly different from American trains. An exhibit is being created that highlights the unique equipment and track layout that is used in Europe.

With fuel prices so high, vacation travel has become prohibitive. The museum is a destination to spend some time exploring the history of railroads from another era. A visit to the museum is just $6 for adults and $1 for children 12 and under; this is a bargain along with free parking. The museum is located at 520 N. Main Street, Linden, IN 47955.
