The Monarch-Neihart Historical Group is a non-profit, 501(c)(3) corporation that was formed November 2012 to raise funds, and to preserve and promote the rich history of the settlers, miners, loggers and railroad industry in this region. Current work focuses on the old Monarch Great Northern Train Depot as a first restored asset to our scenic area. Our plan is for this depot to be a repository for written, oral, and artifact history to our region.
We hope you hop on board and take a ride around to learn more about our history, and the progress we are making on the restoration of the Depot and Drover Car Caboose! Scroll down for current updates or check out our latest newsletters, and click here to see what updates have been made to the depot since the summer of 2017. MONARCH ROCKS!

We Want Your Photos!
Do you have old photos of Monarch, Hughesville, Barker, Carpenter Creek or Neihart that you are willing to share with MNHG? Photos can be scans of buildings, people, scenery, wildlife or whatever. If you do not have access to a scanner, one will be available at the Monarch Rocks! Festival on August 11. THANKS SO MUCH!
Neihart Fire Bell Tower
