This Union Pacific Passenger Depot as rebuilt here after a fire in 1917 that destroyed the previous depot. Located 3 blocks south of the Lincoln Highway, this depot served as a transportation hub for travelers who drove here on the Lincoln Highway to either make a rail connection for personal travel, or to ship or accept freight shipped by rail from other cities.
In the 21st century the depot serves as a local history and railroad museum.
The Lincoln Highway through Laramie entered from the west along Grand Ave/US Hwy 30/I-80 Business Route, then turned north at North 2nd street to head towards Rawlins. The highway was re-routed from Grand Street onto North 3rd street (bypassing N 2nd street) after 1926. Source: (
