The Standish Historical Depot and Welcome Center

This former Michigan Central Railroad Depot is your first stop on the US Heritage Route extending from Standish to Mackinaw City. Here, you can stretch your legs, use clean bathroom facilities and explore the depot and gift shop where you will be greeted by our friendly volunteer staff. Maps, accommodation literature, Michigan road maps, information about local shops and events and activities and much more is available. The Standish Historical Depot features many train artifacts, depot memorabilia and local history photos and documents. We are proud to feature a restored caboose and two English passenger cars "from days gone by". These train cars provide a great picture opportunity when the cars are open to the public from May through October. The Welcome Center is open year round.
