The Butler County Historical Museum is in the former Burlington railroad depot at 200 West D Street in David City, run by the Butler County Historical Society. The brick and stucco depot was built in 1915 and closed in 1969, the railroad gave it to the society for $1 in 1970, and the museum opened in 1973.
Exhibits include a military room in the old agents' office, a railroad room in the old baggage area and the waiting room with its original furnishings and bench. After Labor Day weekend, exhibits are open by appointment.
