Located at the original western terminus of the Northern Alberta Railways and the start of the Alaska Highway.

This train station is the only designated heritage building in Dawson Creek. The station part of the museum is arranged as it was when the railway agent and his family lived in it. Four other museum galleries are Pioneer settlement, the railway era, wildlife and natural history and the construction of the Alaska Highway.

The first train arrived at this station in January of 1931.
