In 1916, the Iron Mountain Railroad Company began building the building that now houses the Sikeston Depot Museum. Soon after the depot was constructed, the line was acquired by the Missouri Pacific Railroad Company. It remained a Missouri Pacific station until the company merged with Union Pacific in 1982. The Sikeston Depot was finally closed on Oct. 15, 1985. In 1997, concerned citizens met to discuss revitalization of the Depot and formed the Sikeston Cultural Development Corporation (SCDC). In March of 2000, the Sikeston Historical and Cultural Center (aka The Sikeston Depot Museum) opened to the public. In December of 2000, the Depot was added to the National Register of Historic Places
