Since '73 it has been home to the Lake Superior Railroad Museum, the St. Louis Co. Historic Society, and several arts organizations. Regular passenger service, in the form of Amtrak, returned from '74 or '77 until 7 Apr. '85. Passenger service again returned in '90 when the North Shore Scenic Railroad began offering excursions.
