Railroad Museum of Oklahoma

The Railroad Museum of Oklahoma occupies the beautifully restored 1927 Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway freight depot. The building is worth seeing in its own right — a solid Mission Revival structure that anchors the north end of downtown. Inside, the museum covers Oklahoma railroading history with an impressive collection of artefacts, photographs, and memorabilia.

Outside the depot, restored rolling stock is displayed on the grounds, including a steam locomotive and several passenger and freight cars. Children particularly enjoy climbing on the equipment. The museum is small but well maintained and gives good context to Enid's identity as a railroad town.

A story
Enid's economy was built on the Rock Island Railroad, which drove the city's growth as a grain shipping hub. The freight depot where this museum now lives was the point through which millions of bushels of Oklahoma wheat passed on their way east — a fact made viscerally clear by the sheer scale of the surviving grain elevators that still line the tracks nearby.
