Special Attractions: Livingston Depot Center: The railroad depot in Livingston was built by the Northern Pacific Railroad to welcome tourists traveling to Yellowstone National Park. After passenger service was discontinued the three-story Italianate-style building was renovated into a museum. The museum’s many exhibits tell the story of railroading in this region and hosts cultural events throughout the summer months.
