The Nevada County Depot and Museum, located in the former Iron Mountain Railroad Depot in downtown Prescott (Nevada County), was put on the National Register of Historic Places. The museum, founded in 1976 as the Nevada County State Park Association, is the only museum in Nevada County. It houses exhibits on early county history, Civil War battles fought in the area, and the railroad history of the county. It also posts rotating exhibits of photographs of daily life in the 1930s and 1940s.
