Feast on Livingston Depot’s annual banquet with music & local history
The Livingston Depot Foundation has announced the return of its annual Roundhouse Roundup, a lively dinner and music event, for Thursday, August 4th beginning at 5:30pm.
The event features a full chuck wagon dinner catered by The Beanery and live music by Open Range. Dinner and dancing will take place beneath the classic architecture of the Depot and its colonnade-encircled courtyard. The Depot museum will also be open for the enjoyment of guests at the event, including its popular exhibits “Rails Across the Rockies,” “Remarkable Migrations,” “Film in Montana,” and the 2022 special exhibit “Inside Heaven’s Gate,” a behind the scenes look at the 1980 epic western of the same name.
The Roundhouse Roundup is a popular summer’s evening that allows guests to reacquaint themselves with an attractive and richly historic icon in the heart of Livingston’s downtown and a central monument to its railroad heritage. Proceeds from the event help fund ongoing restoration and preservation of the historical Depot buildings as well as operation of the museum, educational programs and community events at the Depot.
The evening begins at 5:30pm. Ticket prices are $60 in advance, $65 at the door, and $50 for Depot Foundation members. Tickets can be reserved at www.livingstondepot.org or by calling (406) 222-2300.
The Depot, originally constructed as the grand Northern Pacific’s rail station in 1902, has been restored and is operated by the nonprofit Livingston Depot Foundation. It serves as a community cultural center promoting the visual and performing arts, culture and history of the Yellowstone Region through its museum, educational programs and events, for the benefit of Park County residents and visitors from around the world.
The Depot Museum exhibits are open Monday through Saturday from 10am–5pm this summer, with a modest admission. Group tours are also welcome, and more information is available through the Depot office or website. •
