Whitefish Depot
Whitefish Depot (Great Northern Railway)
A Tudor Revival depot built by the Great Northern Railway in 1927, served by Amtrak's Empire Builder, and home to the Stumptown Historical Society Museum.
Whitefish Depot was built by the Great Northern Railway Company in 1927 in a half-timbered Tudor Revival style. It is the symbol of this “railroad town” and remains a stop on Amtrak's Empire Builder route between Chicago and Seattle/Portland. Many visitors take the train here before transferring to Glacier National Park. The Stumptown Historical Society Museum inside the depot offers free admission, with railway models, old photographs, and exhibits on the town's logging and railroad history. An antique steam locomotive is displayed outside. A visit takes about 30 minutes and can be combined with a walk through the old town.
