Program: This week's program was presented by Bob Moen with an update on the restoration of the depot and the American Passenger Train History Museum project. Since the building was moved to its new home, the next phase of the project will create a trailhead with a public bathroom for the Charley Western Trail and a unique train car museum with community meeting space. They have been busy working on the building's interior as well as ongoing restoration of the train cars. The group is still seeking grants and private funds to complete the project.
