Great Northern Depot in Princeton, MN, is a historic former passenger and freight depot on the Great Northern Railway, showcasing a unique combination of Queen Anne and Jacobean architectural styles. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the depot was built in 1902 and served as a vital hub for shipping agricultural and forest commodities, as well as brick from a nearby brickyard.

Today, the depot is home to the Mille Lacs County Historical Society Depot Museum, offering visitors a glimpse into the region's rich railroad history with exhibits that include vintage railroad cars and a pioneer schoolhouse. With ongoing restoration efforts supported by grants, the depot stands as the sole survivor of its three sister stations within the Great Northern system, preserving a significant piece of Minnesota's past.
