About Nampa Train Depot Museum and Interpretive Center

This early twentieth-century rail depot has served the Nampa community for well over a century. Today it functions as a museum and interpretive center. The building's period design and craftsmanship are part of the experience. Exhibits and artifacts explain how railroads shaped the nation and the local area, including the Oregon Short Line and Union Pacific's role in Nampa's development. Private group tours are offered by appointment, and the space can be rented for small events and meetings.
