The Black Diamond Historical Society was formed by a small group led by Carl and Ann Steiert who decided to honor the nation?s bicentennial by preserving a little bit of America right at home. Many felt a strong concern for the disappearing buildings and artifacts in Black Diamond. Restoration of the railroad depot began following the formation of the Historical Society in 1976. The group obtained the railroad depot from the City of Black Diamond. It was built around the turn of the century to serve as a depot for the Columbia and Puget Sound and later the Pacific Coast Company. After the depot closed in the ?30?s, the building was used as a restaurant, a library, a telephone exchange, an office for the water department and a storage shed for the city maintenance. Eventually work crews completely renovated the structure. The Museum was opened on June 6, 1982, in a gala celebration honoring the one-hundredth birthday of Black Diamond
