LOTS OF TALK THESE DAYS ABOUT THE DEPOT FROM LAMOTTE BEING
MOVED TO MAQUOKETA. IT (MUSEUM) IS HERE!
IT IS A SMALL NARROW GUAGE RAILROAD DEPOT.
WE ALSO HAVE ... JUST A FEW MILES FROM MAQUOKETA ... A (FULL GUAGE) LARGE DEPOT, THE DELMAR DEPOT, BUILDT IN 1905.
IT IS LOADED WITH RAILROAD ITEMS AND IS OPEN EVERY SUNDAY FROM
10 A.M. UNTIL 4 P.M. OR, BY APPOINTMENT! TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT,
SIMPLY CALL JULIE ANN AT 563-574-4068.
