        General Info
        The Broomfield Depot Museum consists of the original Broomfield train depot and three buildings moved to the location from a local farm: the Honey House (built in 1905), in which honey was extracted and processed as part of a commercial operation; a pump house; and an outhouse—a Works Progress Administration-constructed fly-tight privy (circa 1938). The grave of Shep, "the turnpike dog" and beloved community pet, who lived, romped, and played, for fourteen years at the former toll booths of the Denver-Boulder Turnpike sits next to the museum. The Broomfield train depot was built in 1909 to jointly serve the Colorado & Southern Railway and Denver & Interurban Railroad. The historic building is an example of a living-in depot, a depot that included housing for a station agent and his family in addition to providing ticketing and waiting areas for passengers and freight operations. Guided tours explain the significance of the station in Broomfield history, point out some of the building's architectural features, and include information about some of the families who lived in depot
