The Depot

Elmhurst sign on the front gable of a small maroon building with cream trim, two large windows and two benches, set on a grassy lawn beside a paved walkway.
Plaque reading “Chicago Great Western Railway Depot” with historical text about the depot’s service, renovation, dedication, and the United States Bicentennial, ending with “Elmhurst Historical Commission, City of Elmhurst, Illinois. May 19, 2007".

The Depot hosts some early childhood programs.

It was acquired from the Chicago and Northwester Railroad in 1971 and renovated as a bicentennial project in 1975. The construction of the Bicentennial Fountain on the same site as Wild Meadows Trace was the community’s bicentennial project. The Depot and fountain were dedicated on July 4, 1976.
