Boise Train Depot

The Boise Depot is a disused railroad station in Boise, Idaho, in the western United States. It is also one of the Best Places To Visit in Idaho. It was established in 1925, 97 years ago, and is a part of the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). The depot is perched on the edge of the first bench at 2,753 feet (839 meters) above sea level and offers views of Capitol Boulevard and the Idaho State Capitol, which are located 1.6 kilometers (miles) to the northeast.

The Boise Depot was included as the Union Pacific Mainline Depot on the NRHP on August 7, 1974, 49 years after it first appeared. The Pioneer, which stopped operating 25 years ago in 1997, was the final passenger train to stop at the depot.

Morrison-Knudsen Corporation (MK), located in Boise, bought the depot in 1990 and restored it to immaculate condition. It was taken over by the City of Boise in 1996 and made available to the public for tours and special events on Sundays and Mondays from 11:00 am to 5:00 pm.
