Union Depot
Story

Union Depot is refreshing its Historic Stair Museum and expanding the stories told within it. As part of this effort, we’re collecting artifacts, photos and personal stories connected to the landmark.

These submissions will help document the many ways Union Depot has been part of travel, work, and everyday life in Saint Paul for generations.

As Union Depot celebrates its Centennial, we’re looking to capture the memories and experiences that shaped this historic place. From family photos and travel memories to postcards, tickets, and other artifacts, every contribution helps tell the story of Union Depot through the people who passed through its doors.

If you have a meaningful connection to Union Depot, we invite you to share it.
