Elba County Shop in St Paul, NE is a historical village that showcases various landmarks and exhibits, including the Farwell Scandinavian Lutheran Church, Saint Libory District #41, Bartle's General Store, and the Saint Paul Blacksmith. Visitors can also explore the transportation museum, county landmarks, and county schools, as well as the Veterans Museum and Jean Catherine Potts Agricultural Hall.
The Elba Depot, now used for storage behind Paul's Hardware Store, is a notable feature of the village. With its peeling yellow and brown paint from the Harriman era, the depot retains its original Elba signboards. Originally closed in 1969, the depot was moved to a new site in 1971 and has since been used for hardware storage, with a roll-up door and loft added for convenience. Despite offers to purchase or convert it into a residence, the depot remains an important part of Howard County's history.
