Located at 614 E. Main in Shawnee is a unique railroad depot made of limestone blocks two to three-feet deep. With a 60&nbsp;ft. turret, it takes on the slight appearance of a castle, contrasting with the surrounding architecture. It was built in 1902 and was placed on the [[National Register of Historic Places]] in 1974. After operations of the Santa Fe Railroad ceased in 1971 the City of Shawnee took over the depot property. It was assigned to the Pottawatomie County Historical Society which began restoration of this depot in 1979, after it had stood vacant for two decades. The building was remodeled into a railroad and historical museum, which opened on May 30, 1982. It contains numerous local artifacts from the settlement of Shawnee, as well as railroad memorabilia and a gift shop. The Board of Directors is currently erecting a new building directly north of the old depot. The 100+ year old depot will then house railroad artifacts while other items will be displayed in the new area.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.waymarking.com/waymarks/WM9Q42_Santa_Fe_Depot_Museum_Shawnee_OK |title=Santa Fe Depot Museum - Shawnee, OK |website=www.waymarking.com |publisher=Groundspeak |access-date=April 7, 2018}}</ref>
