The Union Pacific Railroad Depot in Concordia, Kansas, is a historic railroad depot that is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The building is one of many built by the Union Pacific Railroad to assist with the company's growth across the United States.

Restoration and current use

The building is no longer used as a railroad depot. It has been restored and now houses the National Orphan Train Complex. The complex hosts a museum and research center dedicated to the preservation of the stories and artifacts of those who were part of the Orphan Train Movement from 1854 to 1929. The museum is open for research and is visited by around 4,000 people each year, one third of who are descendants of orphan train riders.
