​WE WILL BE MONITORING THE CORONAVIRUS SITUATION AS IT UNFOLDS.   WE WILL OPEN, ONLY, IF THE DANGER HAS PASSED. 
WE WILL STAY CURRENT ON THIS WEBSITE, FACEBOOK, AND INSTAGRAM.   TAKE CARE.
THE 2020 CAR SHOW HAS BEEN CANCELLED, DUE TO THE CORONAVIRUS.

​WE WELCOME TOURS
DONATIONS APPRECIATED
​WE ARE GRATEFUL FOR DONATIONS THAT HAVE HELPED KEEP THE DEPOT AND HISTORY ALIVE FOR OUR TOWN.

​When we feel that it is safe for our patrons and ourselves, we will open.  If we open, the Depot will be showcasing the passage of the 19th Amendment - Women's Suffrage, which was ratified in 1920.  We will be presenting an interactive telegraph, and an early radio exhibit brand new to the Depot.  Bring the kids.  They will find it fascinating. Some older kids may enjoy it, also.

​PLEASE CONSIDER ADDING THE DEPOT AS YOUR  CHARITY TO RECEIVE KROGER REWARDS FROM THE USE OF YOUR KROGER CARD.  WITHOUT THE CAR SHOW, OUR MAIN FUNDRAISER OF THE YEAR,  OUR INCOME WILL BE GREATLY REDUCED.
WE DO NOT CHARGE FOR VISITORS, OR  SCHOOL TOURS. VISITING THE MUSEUM IS COMPLETELY FREE TO THE PUBLIC.  
THANK YOU. 
 
Update:
The Haunted Caboose was a great success.  We had more visitors, this year, than ever before.
​
JUST WAIT UNTIL NEXT YEAR!!!
