Walt Disney first came to Marceline by train when he was five years old. The Santa Fe train arrived at the depot that preceded the present-day one, which was built in 1913. When Walt returned to Marceline for the first time in 1946, the depot evoked his first memories of pulling into Marceline. So it is fitting that the museum dedicated to one of the most influential persons of the last century is housed in this restored Santa Fe Depot.
