Minnehaha Depot
A princess of transportation history
Minnehaha Depot, famous for its intricate “gingerbread” canopy, was an integral part of the first rail line out of Minneapolis.
Known as the “Princess” by rail workers of the time, it served both local Minneapolis residents as well as visitors from “out east.”
This site is managed by the Minnesota Transportation Museum.
