About the Museums at Union Station:
The Museums at Union Station was founded in 1978 by the Union Station Development Corporation (USDC). As the largest cultural institution in the city of Ogden, the Museums at Union Station’s focus has been to preserve and use Ogden’s stories to tell about the life, work, individuals and ideas and even the built environment of Ogden, such as Utah’s railroad history and John Moses Browning. A decade later after its founding, the Union Station building was designated as the official Utah State Railroad Museum in 1988. During the next few decades, the Museum amassed a considerable collection of exceptional items, including Matthew S. Browning Collection, Matthew and Barbara Browning Classic Car Collection, several glass negatives of early Ogden, Floyd Jarvis Utah Railroad Collection.
