At Sarpy County Museum, Gemini Park, Bellevue

Old Burlington Train Depot in Gemini Park.  Sarpy County Museum acquired the depot for one dollar on the condition that it be moved from the railroad tracks.  There's a military display in the museum.  

The depot was built by the Omaha and Southwestern Railroad in 1869 and later served the Burlington Railroad. The depot was built in response to Bellevue's failure to secure the Transcontinental Railroad to build across the Missouri River. It was moved to its present location in 1987. Today, it is the oldest surviving train station in the State of Nebraska.

 The depot has been moved twice. It was moved from its original site on block 4 Anderson's additions, to Hayworth Park. That location was one mile south of its original site. Unfortunately, that move put the building in the Missouri River Flood plain. It was subsequently moved by the Sarpy County Museum to Gemini Park, Bellevue, which is adjacent to the Sarpy County Museum. This puts the depot in a safe place, well out of the flood plain.




St. Mark's, St. Mary's, or Missionary Society of St. Columban, take your pick.
