Livingston Depot Museum Opens for Summer Season
The Depot Museum will be open to the public on Wednesday, June 17th.
Visitors are welcome Wednesday through Saturday from 10:00 am to 5:00
pm. The exhibits look a little different this year in an effort to keep
visitors, volunteers, and staff safe. The vaulted ceilings and spacious
atrium provide room for social distancing while enjoying the exhibits.
The Depot staff has also implemented safety precautions to limit the
spread of covid-19, including a rigorous disinfecting schedule and
adapting exhibits for social distancing.
The Depot’s popular ongoing main exhibit “Rails Across the Rockies:
A Century of People and Places” introduces visitors to the rich
history of railroading in Montana, and offers a sense of the grandeur of
historic travel. The exhibit gives special attention to the Northern
Pacific and its central role in the opening of Yellowstone, America’s
first national park. Livingston has served as the gateway to Yellowstone
since the 1880s, and the accessed through Livingston beginning in the
1880s. In addition to its main exhibit, the museum also presents “The
Livingston Depot in History and Architecture,” and “Film in Montana:
Moviemaking under the Big Sky,” as well as an annual featured special
exhibit.
Rounding out the main exhibits in 2020 is the traveling exhibit “On
Track: The Railroad Photographs of Warren McGee.” “On Track”
presents an intriguing selection of photos taken over a six-decade span
from the 1930’s through the 1990’s by Livingston native and prolific
railroad photographer, Warren McGee. Additional historic objects will
round out the visitor’s experience of McGee’s remarkable career.
Developed by the Montana Historical Society this exhibit is now part of
the Livingston Depot Foundation’s permanent museum collection.
