BROOMFIELD HISTORICAL DEPOT MUSEUM

2201 W. 10th Avenue
Broomfield, Colorado 80020

The Broomfield Historical Depot Museum is housed in a beautiful old train depot station which was transported from its original site at 120th and Wadsworth to its present location by Broomfield Jaycees in 1976. It is surrounded by the Zang Spur Park, so named after the railroad's original name for Broomfield.

One of nine depots built in the United States for housing the railroad agent and his family. Includes living quarters of kitchen, parlor, and two bedrooms upstairs as well as the agents office, waiting room and baggage area.

The museum's collections include Broomfield newspapers, extensive collection of Broomfield photographs, large collection of railroad books, Broomfield City Directories, maps of Broomfield, Lakeview Cemetery records to 1920's, and vintage children's clothing.

The station was constructed in 1909. It
contained quarters for the railroad
agents and their families. The living room
is packed with memorabilia of Broomfield's
past and the waiting room displays the
original Broomfield Post Office fixtures.
