*********************************************************************************

Built by the Chicago and West Michigan Railroad in 1892 to accommodate the large influx of summer resorters, this depot later served as the Pere Marquette Railroad’s main station. It became the Little Traverse History Museum in the 1960s, and is filled with artifacts such as the passenger pigeon display, the area's connection to Ernest Hemingway, faces and places that shaped Emmet County, and a growing research facility with resource material that has been collected over the years.
