The Blair Historic Preservation Alliance just celebrated their 25th anniversary as they worked with the City of Blair to give the Depot at Lions Park a face lift. The Depot was moved in 2013 as Mathiesen Grain Company wanted to build a new storage bin. The storage shed that was in the way was the original 1880 train depot. From 2013 to 2026 the depot was home a the backdrop to the park and also available for gatherings and celebrations. As it is used almost every weekend now is the time to make needed renovations to maintain the building, with pain re-stained floors and the outside updated. The Blair Historic Preservation Alliance provided $5000 toward the project and the City of Blair matched with $5000 to make this project completed just in time for the 4th of July.
