Old Santa Fe Depot in Cherryvale
During the last years that Santa Fe owned the depot, the building fell into a sad state of neglect. In 1991, Heart of the Heartlands, a non-profit railroad club, received permission from the Dick Webb family, owners of the SKOL railroad, to move into the depot. Heart of the Heartlands and the Webb family then began an effort to restore the building to its early-day prominence. It was rededicated in 1991 and is used for alternate monthly Heartland Meetings, community events and serves as the office for the Cherryvale Main Street Association. The far north end of the depot is used by the Cherry Valley Model Railroad Club, which meets each Friday evening to work on its large model railroad layout.
