Packed with info
Small but packed with interesting info. They have a simulator! I didn’t realize that Katy was actually a woman. Read recipes from the dining cats. Buy super cheap used books & manuals (which I found great for junk journal decor.) We stayed an hour and could have stayed longer.

Great visit to the Red River Railroad Museum astounding history told
Diane Geer is just the best historian ever. She told the story of the Denison Railroad depot like you were living it today. She told all the history of how it was built and its demise when KATY up and closed this very large facility. How a man sold all his holdings and even borrowed money to purchase the building when he heard it was to be torn down. He forever saved this beautiful piece of history. It is a must for a wonderful entertaining account of very important history. Told by a woman Diane Geer who makes it come to life. One of my favorite day trips ever. Thanks Diane, The Deals
