Kelso Depot, located in the heart of the Mojave Desert, was built in 1923 by the Union Pacific Railroad  to serve as a train depot, hotel and restaurant.  The building was renovated for use as the visitor center and regional  headquarters for the Mojave National Preserve.  It features ten rooms of exhibits, a reading room and bookstore, a 60-person theater,  and park staff offices.
