Pullman Depot Heritage Center

Pullman Depot Heritage Center The mission of the Pullman Depot Heritage Center is to sustain the unique character of the depot and engage the community in the exploration of Pullman.

Founded in 2018 We are open in the Freight Room on Saturdays from 1pm - 4pm. We have new exhibits! Stop by! The Depot was once the focal point of town, where people arrived and departed when rail transportation was a major means of travel. All mail came by rail. Most express packages and even cars, farm equipment, and furniture was delivered to the depot. The university relied on shipments of book

s and supplies well into the 1980s. Northern Pacific spur lines to the north of the depot along Grand Avenue brought rail cars to various storage facilities where grain was shipped out, providing area farmers an avenue to market their goods. Despite Pullman and the Palouse having an impressive history, there is nowhere one can visit to learn about the many stories, people, businesses, and achievements that mark the hundred-plus years of time since the town was first settled. Future generations will grow up never having experienced train travel or understanding how rail transportation built the West and its impact on the local economy. It is our aim to fill that gap by developing the Depot into a vital hub where the community can gather and learn about its history. We believe in the importance of preserving this historic and unique building of Pullman. The Depot is a prime example of few remaining opportunities to savor, restore, and save the past.

Check out the restoration progress - restoration of roof, brick & masonry, windows, doors and soffits completed. The Depot interior and the train cars are next! The train cars are closed for restoration - the temporary tenting over the cars is protecting the cars until restoration resumes in the spring.
