Ninety Six Train Depot

SC PICTURE PROJECT 9 Comments

SC Picture Project / Greenwood County / Ninety Six Train Depot

Constructed by Southern Railway (now Norfolk Southern) in 1852, the Ninety Six Train Depot is one of the oldest buildings in Ninety Six. The depot was used by Norfolk Southern until the company took up its rail in 1970. It has been carefully restored and now serves as an event venue and meeting place for the community.

After the rail was removed, the town used the remaining railroad bed to create the Historic Downtown Walking Trail. Lined with beautiful crepe myrtles trees, the 1.4 mile trail begins at the Ninety Six Train Depot and features many of the town’s most notable landmarks, including the Kinard House, the gazebo, and the Star Fort Fountain.

      Hi, I am the activities director of the Chi Sigma sorority at Lander University. Generally, we use the train depot for our formal that occurs in December. I can’t find a number to contact the depot and wanted to contact someone about making arrangements to use the depot for the formal this year. Thanks so much, Erica
