Howell Area Historical Society &
Depot Museum
in
Howell, Michigan
The Howell Depot was built is 1886 for the Ann Arbor Railroad and carried passengers as far north as Elberta, MI and as far south as Toledo, OH. The last regular scheduled passenger train pulled out of the station bound for Elberta in July 1950. In 1968, the Livingston County Historical Society (now the Howell Area Historical Society) bought the depot from the City of Howell and restored it to a museum which include items from the Daughters of Liberty, historical railroad items, WW1 and WW2 and much more. Today, the depot is maintained through profits from train excursions, donations, Trash 'n Treasure and other special events.
