Little Falls and Dakota Depot

The Little Falls and Dakota Depot is a former railway station in Starbuck, Minnesota, United States, in service 1882–1982. The depot was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2006 for having local significance under the themes of commerce, exploration/settlement, and transportation. It was nominated for its associations with the expansion of rail lines and European settlement into the region, and the growth of Starbuck as an agricultural trade center. The depot was restored beginning in 1986 by the non-profit Starbuck Depot Society, and it is now part of an open-air museum.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://minnewaskaarea.com/things-to-do/museums/starbuckhistoricdepot )
==History==
East–west rail lines had been laid across Minnesota by the early 1870s, but they did not cross Pope County and settlement remained low. In 1879 local entrepreneurs incorporated the Little Falls and Dakota Railroad to build a new east–west branch line from Little Falls, Minnesota, to the Dakota border.〔 The Northern Pacific Railway and Great Northern Railway, locked in a rivalry for national dominance, each took an interest in the new region and the lucrative land rights that would come with it. The Great Northern hurriedly build tracks for the St. Cloud and Lake Traverse Railway from Morris, Minnesota towards Starbuck. However the Little Falls and Dakota, secretly backed by Northern Pacific, reached Starbuck first, securing the critical mail franchise for the town. Great Northern interests relented and sold the St. Cloud and Lake Traverse section to their rival. Upon completion in 1882 the Little Falls and Dakota line was immediately leased by the Northern Pacific, and purchased outright in 1900.〔
For Starbuck's centennial celebration on July 1, 1983, the world's largest lefse was cooked on the depot grounds. Since 1987 the city has held an annual Lefse Dagen festival on the site.〔
