Long Leaf Depot was built on this site about 1906 as a joint agency of the St. Louis, Iron Mountain and Southern RR and the Red River and Gulf RR, which shared expenses equally, while the RR&G provided housing for the agent in the house on the left as visitors enter the museum grounds. Glenmora and McNary both had larger depots than Long Leaf. The Glenmora depot was probably built shortly after the railroad started the town in 1893. McNary had the largest depot, a two-story building with the agent's quarters on the second story, and it also was a joint agency shared by the Glenmora and Western RR. A picture was taken on the day the Cady Lumber Co. of McNary moved its employees from McNary, LA, to its new operation at McNary, Arizona, in 1925.
