“a century old restored railway”

The handsome 1892 Romanesque Revival depot, in excellent condition, houses the Ironwood area museum and the Ironwood Historical Society research center. (The Chamber of Commerce is also in the depot, open weekdays throughout the year.) The museum's next room, originally the ticket agent's room, features artifacts of businesses from around 1900, It is organized like a store.  Thoughtful exhibits give an overview of mining, with artifacts and maps. Artifacts reflecting social history and town history are here, while graphic displays of those subjects, giving a look at local history from pre-exploration to the present, are in the Ironwood Memorial Building.  Note the dramatic and poignant newspaper clippings, for instance, about the 43 miners trapped for 129 hours in a 1926 cave-in at the Pabst Mine—an event dealt with in more detail at the Memorial Building. Much more material, including many photos and printed matter about many aspects of Ironwood life, is in files.
