25th Anniversary Birthday Bash
Saturday, July 12, 2025
1:00 PM to 4:00 PM
Save the date! On July 12, the Depot will host an open house and free birthday party for community members, visitors, and volunteers to celebrate the 25th Anniversary of the opening of the North Creek Railway Depot Museum. Our Depot Birthday Bash will feature live music and costumed characters, plus cake, ice cream, beverages, and assorted treats to share. We hope to use the occasion to honor some of the Museum’s early tenacious, resourceful volunteers, like Bill Bibby, Sterling Goodspeed, Mary Moro, Bert and Helen Miner, Rosemary Miner Pelkey, Patricia Jordan, William Thomas, Bob Zilch, Sally Heinrich, Rob Holford, Marion Morse, Cindy Morse, and Cathy Atherden, who had the vision to purchase, repair, and restore the original station, which was built in 1872. They established a nonprofit organization and raised the funds to bring the Depot back to life.
