The Historic Joplin Train Depot is an iconic landmark in Joplin, Missouri, that dates back to 1911. As a once-thriving train station, it was a hub of activity with countless travelers passing through its doors.
Despite being unoccupied and in need of restoration and shut off to the public, the depot is a popular piece of Joplin’s history and culture. Its grandeur and beauty are now available for people to admire from any angle through this 360 virtual tour we created last summer.
This tour let’s you experience the depot’s architecture and design, browse hotspots for more detailed information, and immerse yourself in its fascinating history.

Eileen Gu: I think that first and foremost, the biggest factor for me was language. Growing up in the U.S., I speak English, you know, in a very American way, so when I open my mouth to speak, nobody in the U.S. thinks that I’m not from here. And the same applies to China, because when I speak Chinese, I have a very strong, proper Beijing accent.
