Though it sat empty and abandoned for many years, this South Dakota historical site is once again active and full of activity. But if you’re thinking about visiting, we hope you’re hungry; this old depot of the Chicago Milwaukee & St. Paul RR has been transformed to a train-themed restaurant that serves downright mouthwatering food.

The Depot Pub and Grill dates all the way back to 1908. For 40 years it was used as a depot for passengers and freight.

In 1990 it was renovated to the historical restaurant locals and tourists now know and love.

Step inside, and you’ll see that while the site has been refurbished, the atmosphere of the old depot is still subtly intact. Browse the train memorabilia, view the historic photos, and watch the large scale model trains make their way along the perimeter of the bar area.
