Broomfield Denver and Interurban Railroad/Colorado and Southern Railroad Depot.

It served the needs of both the Colorado & Southern, a steam passenger and freight railroad, and its subsidiary, the Denver & Interurban Railroad, an electric intercity line.  Colorado & Southern sold the depot for $1 to the Jaycees in 1976, provided the Jaycees relocated the building.  It was moved to this location that year.  In 1983 it opened as a museum and has provided a local history to the public since.  More information (PDF, 5.3MB)
