The Interurban Railway Museum is housed in a restored depot that served Plano from 1908 until 1948. Historical exhibits detail Plano's early days and even before then and highlight the forces that shaped what the city has become. A train car outside the depot has been restored to show what the mail cars and passenger cars of the time looked like. The museum is free and guided tours of the train car are free, but donations are appreciated.
Plan to spend at least thirty minutes touring the museum and the train car -- longer if you like to know the details of lives lived long ago. After you finish at the Interurban Railway Museum, head back to the train station.
