Industry Depot
We welcome you to come inside our 1909 rural depot to see
what it feels like to be in a railroad station in the 1930's or the 1940's
from the completely outfitted ticket agent's office to the waiting room where
the original wooden seats surround the perimeter of the room. Imagine all
the destinations and stories of the people who sat in those seats starting
their journeys or waiting for a loved one to return.
