Limon occupies a special place in Colorado’s history, and this is on full display at the Limon Heritage Museum. The museum also features an exhibit building that tracks Limon’s history from its days as a railroad outpost up to the present, with rotating exhibits about life on the plains, and offers visitors a chance to see old farming equipment.Just as it connects highways today, Limon was a major transportation hub in the days when trains were the primary mode of transport, connecting the Union Pacific Railroad to eastern rail lines. The Rock Island Railroad Depot, located just next to the heritage museum, provides visitors a great opportunity to learn about what life was like in the railroading days. This site serves as Colorado’s only restored railroad depot on the Rock Island line, and now houses a number of artifacts and displays. Stroll the grounds around the depot and check out the types of rail cars from trains that traveled the line, including a fully restored dining car. If you are interested in checking out a different kind of historical site, visit Tamarack Golf Course.
