| Muskegon Union Station was built by
Chicago & West Michigan and the Muskegon,
Grand Rapids & Indiana in 1895. C & WM
became part of Pere Marquette. Muskegon, GR &
I followed its parent into the Pennsylvania. The
depot remained in service as a passenger station
until 1970, when Amtrak took over passenger train
service on the C&O, and the Muskegon-Holland
train was discontinued.
The depot sat vacant,
through a series of ownerships. In the early
1990's the depot was donated to the county. They
restored the depot for use as a convention and
visitor center, bus stop, and museum.
