== History ==
The historical museum is located in the original 1912 Denver and Rio Grande Railroad Depot in downtown Montrose, Colorado. The building is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. In the late 1800s the narrow gauge railroad was the main mode of transportation. The daily operation of passenger and freight trains promoted the growth of Montrose. The 1920s saw a rapid decline in railroad transportation due to the fast increase in the use of automobiles and trucks. The loss of business caused the railroads to discontinue passenger scheduled service. The depot ended its use as a train station in the 1950s. In 1972 the Denver and Rio Grande Western Railroad Company donated the depot and the land to the city of Montrose to use as a museum. The Montrose Historical Society has operated in this location since that time.The museum attracts a diverse group of visitors from across Colorado, the United States, and abroad.
