Annual Roundhouse Roundup offers fun, food, company & tunes
The Livingston Depot Foundation has announced its Roundhouse Roundup at the Depot, a lively dinner and music event, will be held Thursday, July 19th beginning at 5:30pm.
The event features a full chuck wagon dinner catered by the Northern Pacific Beanery and live music by Quenby and the West of Wayland Band. 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,” “The Livingston Depot in History and Architecture,” and the 2018 special exhibit “Pure Quill: The Photographs of Barbara Van Cleve,” a creative sampling of ranch and Western life across several decades.
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 will run from 5:30–8:30pm. Ticket prices are $50 in advance, $55 at the door, and $45 for Depot Foundation members, with reserved table opportunities for groups of eight or more. Sponsorship opportunities are also available. Tickets can be reserved by calling the Depot at (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 seven days a week during the summer, Monday through Saturday from 10am–5pm and Sunday from 1–5pm, with a modest admission. Group tours are also welcome, and more information is available through the Depot office at (406) 222-2300 or its website, www.livingstondepot.org. •
