This building served the people of Auburn and Placer County for more than 90 years as both a passenger and freight station. The railroad track adjacent to this historic building is the original route location for the transcontinental railroad.

The Auburn depot building was restored and preserved for the citizens of Auburn and Placer County through the efforts of the Auburn Centennial Committee of 1988, Auburn Community Foundation, City of Auburn, Southern Pacific Railroad and the Auburn Area Chamber of Commerce.
