The 1923 Bristow Train Depot has been restored and houses a variety of displays sponsored by the Bristow Historical Society. The museum has limited hours.

The depot was originally built by the SLSF (Frisco) Railroad as part of a route between Sapulpa & Oklahoma City. It was almost destroyed, but restored instead, in the early 1980s by the Burlington Northern but the Bristow Historical Society went to court. The society won but had to agree to not have a restaurant or other high-traffic business in the building. As well as the museum it currently also houses the Bristow Chamber of Commerce.

Also on display here is Caboose #999334. Directly across from the depot is a plaza leading to Main St. A kind of fun note is that, at one time, the western singer and actor Gene Autry worked here as a telegraph operator.
