Holidays at the Depot 2022

Please join us for our annual holiday fundraising auction in support of Buchanan County Tourism. Once again, through the generosity of our donors, you may bid on handcrafted trees and wreaths along with unique specialty items, with the added bonus of being able to watch your bids through this website.

Proceeds will go to promotion of Buchanan County as a great place to visit and to maintaining the historic Illinois Central Railroad Depot, home to our tourism office. Immediate projects include setting up a calendar of events, developing a trails map, and designing staycations. We also plan to do tuckpointing.

We want to thank our community sponsors for their financial support that made it possible for Tourism to hold an auction online. They are listed below. We are fortunate to have the support of so many businesses and individuals throughout the county.

The Buchanan County Tourism Bureau is a non-profit organization established to promote area attractions and amenities to all Iowans and beyond. It provides on-site visitor information services at the Illinois Central Depot along with outreach through online services and tourism partnerships. The organization publishes a tourism brochure, maintains a website, and uses social media to promote events, sites, and travel itineraries. It also maintains the Depot as both a tourism office and historical museum. It is supported by a stipend from the county, membership, fundraisers, and donations.
