Ritzville's railroad depot museum is home to a collection of turn-of-the-century memorabilia. Train lovers will enjoy the restored Northern Pacific caboose as well as the fully functional telegraphy equipment complete with telegrapher. The depot boasts two separate waiting rooms with a freight room and ticket office. In 1988, Burlington Northern deeded the depot to the City of Ritzville. It was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989 and is part of Ritzville's National Historic District. The depot has changed very little. The museum is open Tuesday through Saturday, Memorial Day through Labor Day 12 to 4 p.m. or by appointment. Minimal donation requested for admittance.
