Description
Great historic view of the Great Northern Railroad depot in Sandstone, Minnesota, from the 1920s. Think how great this print would look on your wall – and what a thoughtful, memorable gift this would make!
The Sandstone station of Sandstone, Minnesota, was built in 1895 and served the Great Northern Railway and successor Burlington Northern until 1971. Passenger service ceased upon the formation of Amtrak, but resumed between Minneapolis and Superior in 1975. Sandstone was served by the Arrowhead and later the North Star between Chicago and Duluth. Service ceased after April 7, 1985. The depot still exists, but has been relocated from the tracks.
Sandstone, known as the “First City of the North Woods” is located in Pine County, Minnesota, along the Kettle River. The population was 2,370 at the 2020 census. Interstate 35 and Minnesota State Highways 18 and 23 are three of the main routes in the community. Banning State Park is nearby.
A bit of history, fantastic for both current and former residents, and makes a great gift! This is a reproduction from an original postcard. Available in 3.5-inch x 5.5-inch postcards and prints from 4-inch by 6-inch to 13-inch by 19-inch sizes.
