Wilton station, also known as the Soo Line Depot, is a historic railroad station in Wilton, North Dakota. Built in 1900 by the Minneapolis, St. Paul and Sault Ste. Marie Railroad and designed by architect William J. Keith, it is notable for a pagoda-like tower. The depot served passenger trains on the Soo Line, with service toward Bismarck to the east and toward Minneapolis–Saint Paul to the west. In 1978 it was added to the National Register of Historic Places as the Minneapolis, St. Paul and Sault Sainte Marie Railroad Company Depot. The site covers less than an acre and sits at 1st Street North and McLean Avenue. The listing notes the station’s historical connection to William Drew Washburn.
