Santa Fe Trail
Lamar Colorado Welcome Center, CO

This welcome center is a renovated Santa Fe Railroad 1907 depot. This depot is still in use with daily Amtrak service between Chicago and Los Angeles. Lamar is a small town, with friendly folks, and is also the converging spot for three major U.S. Highways (U.S. 50, 287, and 385).

At the Lamar Welcome Center, along with the Madonna of the Trail Statue, visitors to the center can see an antique train engine. The Lamar Chamber of Commerce is also housed in this depot. Lamar has become an agricultural and industry center for the southeastern high plains, and is known as the "Goose Hunting Capital of the U.S."
