Siloam Springs station was a railway station in Siloam Springs, Arkansas.

The Port Arthur and Gulf Railroad reached Siloam Springs in December 1893 after some delay. [1] The original depot was moved slightly to the south in 1915 and new passenger facilities constructed in its place. [2] Passenger service under the Kansas City Southern Railway ceased after 1968. [1]

The Siloam Springs Museum moved into the building in 1971, though quickly outgrew the space and relocated the following year. [3] The station was added to the National Register of Historic Places on January 28, 1988. It was destroyed in a fire in 1991 and subsequently removed from the register on March 31, 2000. [1] Parts of the station were reused in the construction of and are displayed in the Arkansas State Welcome Center in Siloam Springs. [2]
