Depot Day 2016 in Historic Wallace Idaho
May 7, 2016
|
May 7th was the date, downtown Wallace was the place, and
the 31st Annual
Northern Pacific Depot Railroad Museum
Festival and
Classic Car Show
was the event. Depot Day has evolved into a major festival
for Wallace, as it celebrates the coming of spring,
America's favorite mode of transportation,
the automobile, and the nostalgia of the railroads
that helped make Wallace
"The Silver Capital of the World."

Beautifully restored classic cars will fill
the "closed-to-traffic" streets in historic Wallace, where
there will also be the music at the Gazebo, lots of
activities for kids on the Depot lawn, various ethnic
and traditional food booths, and a model train exhibit.
The Depot was built in 1902 using special
bricks brought from China as ballast originally destined
for a huge hotel in Tacoma, Washington.
There will be raffle drawings for several prizes.

Depot Day 1994 The Northern Pacific Depot was moved 200 feet to this location in 1986 when Interstate 90 was built over the town, rather than through it. There was no option for the feds because every building in town is on the National Historic Register. |
