Historic Union Depot was once Duluth’s busiest train station. Closed to rail traffic in 1969, the building was rescued by a group of concerned citizens and by St. Louis County. Working together they transformed the building into a community cultural center and home to four museums, an active community theatre, ballet and symphony.
Now on the national Register of Historic Places, The Depot is a family destination and one of Duluth’s premier tourist attractions!
