REMER SOO LINE DEPOT
A Piece of History Preserved
Starting approximately 10 years ago a group of people with a vision of what the Soo Line
Depot could be, saved the building from being demolished. Part of the Remer
Landscape for 100 years, a portion of that history is preserved in one area of
the Depot that retains the hardwood oak flooring installed during the original
construction of the Depot and the museum dedicated to the early days of Remer.
Until 2013 the large conference room in the Depot was used for meetings
and other gatherings, and periodically rented out for private use.
That space now serves the community with the newly established Remer
Centennial Library. Visit their website for hours of operation and other
information: www.remerlibrary.org
There are two Public Restrooms opened from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM. for the
convenience of travelers and people using the Soo Line Trail. During part of the
year the Chamber plans on keeping the Depot open on weekends.
The Remer Area Chamber of Commerce encourages the community to take advantage
of this resource and when possible, volunteer a bit of time each month to ensure
the Depot continues to be an asset to our community. We are always looking for
people to staff the Information Center on the weekends.
If you are interested in volunteering, or to lend and/or donate artifacts or
photographs to the Remer Depot, contact the Remer Chamber Office at remerchamber@gmail.com.
If you are interested in the History of Remer you may purchase Cecelia
McKeig's book entitled "The History of Remer" which covers the early 1910's thru 1960's.
