Since the coming of the railroad was the beginning of the town, it was only fitting that the Depot be at the center of town. The first depot was located across the street from where the Gazebo in Weldon Park is currently located. However, after its construction the women of the town felt it was spoiling the beauty of their little city so they petitioned it to be moved. They selected the new site "under the oak tree across from Dr. Cornog." They were successful and in 1912 a new depot was ready for use. December 29, 2012 marking the 100th anniversary of the depot, a celebration and re-opening took place after a full restoration of the depot.
