The Old Depot Museum in Ottawa. This is the northern terminus of the Prairie Spirit Trail, though there's no trailhead here. The Old Depot Museum is a two story, limestone depot built in 1888 as a depot for the Kansas City, Lawrence, and Southern Kansas Railway. Exhibits include a model railroad layout; displays tracing the life of famed abolitionist John Brown; a Victorian parlor, a general store, and a military room.

These photos were taken on the Prairie Spirit Trail in October 2007. The ride started at the Old Depot Museum in Ottawa and headed south through Princeton, Richmond, and Garnett for lunch, then back to the start - about a 60-mile round trip.
