Constructed in 2004 to enhance the old part of Jasper near the Patoka River, the train depot is a replica of the former structure built in 1906. Features include an old-fashioned ticket window, roll top desks, pot belly stove, and authentic memorabilia. New in 2010, board the Spirit of Jasper Train for scenic excursions to French Lick Resort Casino or a dinner trip to Dubois!

The Jasper Train Depot is part of the overall planning effort of the non-profit organization ROJAC (Redevelop Old Jasper Action Coalition) to redevelop the “Old Jasper” district near the Patoka River, within walking distance of downtown Jasper. Other amenities in the Old Jasper area include the
Spirit of Jasper train, making excursions to French Lick Casino or a dinner trip to Dubois;
Jasper Riverwalk, a 2.1-mile paved path, which features a gazebo and seating along the River; and the
Jasper City Mill, the latest addition to the district, where guests can watch the workings of the waterwheel and corn meal production and browse for souvenir items available for purchase in the gift shop.
