Morrilton Railroad Station

Location
  
Railroad Ave. between Division and Moose Sts., Morrilton, Arkansas

Part of
  
Morrilton Commercial Historic District (#03000085)

The former Morrilton Railroad Station is located on Railroad Avenue, between Division and Moose Streets, in downtown Morrilton, Arkansas. It is a single-story brick building, with a tile roof and Mediterranean styling typical of the stations of the Missouri Pacific Railroad. The broadly overhanging roof is supported by large brackets, with a telegrapher's bay projecting on the track side. Built about 1907, it is an important reminder of the railroad's importance in the city's history. It now houses a local history museum.

The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1977.
