Ashford Depot

Ashford Depot, an example of late 19th century Victorian railroad architecture, was constructed by the Alabama Midland Railroad in March, 1888 as a way station on the Bainbridge-to-Montgomery route. The depot was the only building to survive a devastating 1915 fire which destroyed the original town area parallel to the railroad track. The Ashford Depot Committee restored the building to its former appearance and furnished it with original antiques. The depot houses an “Artifacts of the Wiregrass Museum,” political history memorabilia, and a community room for use by area citizens.
