The D & RG Railroad was the first railroad to provide rail service to Littleton arriving in 1871. Fours years later, in 1875, the depot was built using rhyolite stone quarried from Castle Rock. The depot was designated as a Littleton landmark over 50 years ago.
Historic Littleton will give a presentation on Littleton’s early days and how the railroad helped Littleton grow. Historic Littleton Inc. will also serve birthday cake and give out free coloring books featuring many of Littleton’s historic buildings.
