Our mission is: to build a replica of the Milwaukee Road Depot that once operated in Elkader, Iowa; to promote, educate, preserve and present the railroad legacy on how vital the railroad was for growth to businesses and settlers in our community; to show the great impact that it had on our town as well as the surrounding communities; to display artifacts and memorabilia; to be a teaching tool for future generations; and to explore and bring awareness of Elkader’s railroading past.
