About the event
Explore Lake Park's history during this special evening event. The former depot from the Rock Island Railroad is the centerpiece of the Lake Park Heritage Square Museum. The Depot was moved to its current location in October, 1991. It houses information on the railroad as well as a collection of uniforms dating back as far as the Civil War, as well as a Purple Heart. These are just a sample of what you'll find there. Also located on the "square" is the pioneer house, and jail.
A visit to the city park is our last stop where the C.B. Knox cabin is located. The cabin, built in 1869, served not only as his home, but was also the area's first schoolhouse.
This event is part of LAMA - Lakes Area Museum Alliance.
