The Rock Island Depot was built in 1909 and was used until the 1970's. This was a busy location during the growing years of Hobart. these include World War I and II. The rapidly growing farming industry depended on this rail service to transport it's products.
It was left in disrepair until the Kiowa county historical preservation society aquired it in 1987. After many hours of volunteer work and money it was reopened as a museum.
In order to claim this find you must email me the answers to the following 3 questions:
1. What year is on the fire truck?
2. What letters and numbers are on the yellow railroad car?
3. When was the official re-opening date?
Take time to visit the museum, it's free but donations are accepted. I found out many things I didn't know about Kiowa county and the Indians that lived here.
