The Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Depot was built in 1917 and was active until 1974. Settlers came to Marseilles in the 1830s, and the city grew due to the establishment of this depot, the arrival of the Illinois and Michigan Canal and a Nabisco factory. The Seattle Sutton Marseilles Museum is located inside the actual depot and has exhibits covering residents’ involvement in World War I, World War II, the Korean War and many other town milestones.
