Help save a historic Milwaukee Road Depot in rural Charles City, Iowa! Our museum, the American Passenger Train History Museum, was asked to lead the project to save this relic of the city. We have already raised $150,000 towards this project - But we need your help raising the remaining $200,000! Please donate! We have a local resident who is matching donations up to $100,000, which will get us to $300,000 of our $350,000 goal! You can donate at our website - www.apthm.org - using both PayPal or by mail.

We have until March 31, 2021 to raise the money! Once the money is raised, our museum will move the depot from its current location along the CP railway, south to our museum grounds on the former Charles City Western interurban railway! Once there, we will set it on a basement/foundation and begin restoring the building to be used as our museum headquarters and ground entrance, as well as a trailhead for the Charley Western trail around town, and as community meeting rooms.

Building up steam! Welcome to a special #SaveTheDepot Wednesday Update! We have raised $237,000! But, we only have 2 weeks to go to raise the remainder of the money. In the last 2 weeks, we have seen the most donations in our PO Box throughout the whole effort! Thank you all so much for your continued support and generosity. This shows our community’s recognition of the Milwaukee Road Depot’s place in our town and history!

With only two weeks left, things are really starting to heat up. We still need everyone’s help to make this happen. So, please consider donating! Donations are also eligible for Jim Smith’s generous $100k match opportunity! What does that mean? Well, if you donate $100 dollars, that means the effort gets $200 - your $100 and $100 of match! Every little bit helps! In recognition of our shortening timeline, we are encouraging donors to use our PayPal option to expedite deliver of donations.
