Historical Center has been working with DP3 Architects on the design. They are
recreating an authentic Southern Passenger Depot, complete with the signature

hope to continue to honor and reinforce the historical significance of rail

both a museum and an event space, creating an immersive experience that honors
the region's rail heritage and adds a bright addition to Main Street in
Greenwood; and

W
hereas, this new
replica depot bridges the past with the present to preserve the rich history of
Greenwood, while providing a dynamic new community space; and

W
hereas, the Railroad
Historical Center hopes to make this historical treasure accessible to as many
people as possible, helping to educate them on the huge role that the railroad
played in the economic growth and cultural development in the region through
exhibits and interpretations; and

W
hereas, this new addition
will also help improve the community by increasing visitors annually, which
will benefit local businesses, adding significantly to the prosperity of
Greenwood County, honoring not only their past, but their future. Now, therefore,
