Dinner at The Depot

We have a little place in Old Town Helena that we like to eat at called The Depot. Actually a lot of us from work eat there regularly on lunch break as well, it's a popular local spot. It's a little restaurant inside an old train depot and it's right beside a real train track. In these pictures the train came through while we were waiting on our food and Matthew loved it! He said 'CHOOO CHOOOOO'.





This is the back side and outdoor deck where a lot of people eat.

There's a water fall out back and people go down on the little island for fishing and frisbee, etc. At night the water is lit with to make the falls glow.


There's a little caboose out front for kids to play on. Here's some info on the depot itself before it was made into a diner:
From 1872 to 1905 it was a hub activity for Helena for every person and goods coming or going into the town. It is one of the oldest structures in town that survived the 1895 fire and the 1933 tornado. It moved to its present location from a little north of the tracks in 1999. Pretty neat.
