Weiser History: The Train Depot

The Train Depot has been a major point in Weiser history, it's how Weiser was so big in the old days. Over the years they have been working hard to restore it to it's former glory. The Train Depot was built in 1904. There was a disagreement between the towns people as to where to build the depot, because some wanted the town of Weiser to be over by the old Sunnyside school. This being after the original town was burnt down. But the story goes, that a group of men rode out on their horses out to the Sunnyside side of town with guns blazing, shooting up in the air and they scared the Sunnyside people and the the depot and the town got rebuilt where it stands today.



Below are some shots of inside the Depot.
