Historic Kyle Train Depot Grand Opening

Following a multi-year renovation, the Historic Kyle Train Depot will host its grand opening later this month.
The building houses a museum with displays showing the history of the Kyle Station, under the direction of the Hays County Historical Commission.

The depot restoration was largely funded by private donations and grants. The project was awarded a $25,000 grant from LCRA and has received generous donations from the Burdine Johnson Foundation, Soliref Inc., the Gregg family and numerous individual donors.

At no cost to Kyle residents, the city dedicated $250,000 in funds collected through the city’s Hotel Occupancy Tax which can only be utilized for projects promoting local tourism such as the historic depot. The Grand Opening Celebration will take place Sunday, Sept. 25 from 1-5 p.m. 

 

From then on, the Hays County Historical Commission will operate the depot from 1-5 p.m. every Sunday and on those Saturdays when Kyle Market Days is taking place.
The final Kyle Market Days of 2016 is scheduled for October 15, which is the same day as the Kyle Founders Parade.
