LOCATION INFORMATION
The historic Apalachicola Northern Railroad Depot in Greensboro was built in 1907 and is the only depot on the line which runs from River Junction in Gadsden County to Port St. Joe in Gulf County, Florida. About 40 years ago, the depot was moved from its original location and scheduled for demolition. The West Gadsden Historical Society realized what a tremendous historic loss this would be, and persuaded Progress Energy to donate the building to them. On September 7, 2007, the depot was moved to a parcel of land adjacent to the railroad that had been donated by the St. Joe Land Company. The historic depot was restored and an adjoining meeting room built through a grand administered by Gadsden County from the U.S. Department of Transportation. The Greensboro Depot Railroad Museum is open Saturday and Sunday afternoons from 1:00pm – 4:00pm, on the first and last weekend of the month.
