ABOUT THE BISMARCK DEPOT
The Bismarck Depot has a long and storied past. Originally built in 1901 as a Northern Pacific Railway Depot, it served passengers until Amtrak discontinued service in 1979. Over the years, it became home to Fiesta Villa Mexican Restaurant, Edwinton Brewing, and other businesses, before sitting vacant—until now.
Thanks to a visionary restoration led by Bismarck Depot Owner Cam Knutson, the building is being preserved and revitalized to honor its past while embracing its future. The renovation includes maintaining its historic architecture while integrating modern amenities that make it a premier event venue for Bismarck-Mandan.
“You’ll never see a building get built like this ever again,” said Knutson.
