The Great Northern Depot is of
historical significance since it was the last depot built by
"empire builder" James J. Hill. It has been on the
National Register of Historic Places since 1988. Built in
1912, the arched framework of the Depot windows represents a
neo-classic design. The depot is also associated with two
statewide historical events: Agricultural Development and
Railroad construction and the Northern Minnesota Lumbering era,
all of which took place between 1870 and 1920. The depot
represents a broad diversity of people who lived and continue to
live in this area. The depot has been restored to house the
Beltrami County History Center , a full-service history center
which includes a three gallery museum, research library, gift
shop, meeting room and public archives. Open Mon - Sat 10
AM to 4 PM
