The station was built in 1912 by the Canadian Northern Railway to a design by architect John Schofield. The station was designated a Heritage Railway Station of Canada in 1990.[2] The station was designated as a Manitoba historic site on 27 January 1998,[3] and is marked with a Manitoba Heritage Council commemorative plaque.[4]
The station is home to the Dauphin Railway Museum, which features railroad artifacts and displays about rail service in the region, the Canadian Northern Railway and later Canadian National Railway.[5] Exhibits include a caboose, roundhouse and turntable, lamps, tools, photos, a motor car (jigger), an HO scale model rail, and a geographic display of steam/diesel era (1954–1965).
