The Old Depot Museum in Ottawa, Kansas, is a vernacular and Italianate stone structure built in 1888 that served as a railway station before its conversion to a museum. Today, it documents the regional history of Franklin County with emphasis on the crucial role trains played in developing small towns, while also featuring exhibits on local Native Americans, regional industries, and period room recreations. Listed on both the National Register of Historic Places and the Register of Historic Kansas Places, the building stands as a material reminder of the railroad's significance to the area's growth.
