The Depot borders the CSX railroad. The complex offers visitors a memorable experience, with a return to yesteryear, offering an astonishingly beautiful exterior and interior creation of what it was like to travel by train, in Brice Ohio, in 1880. Rare furniture and train antiques disguise state-of-the-art communication technology attractively imbedded in the facility. Our Scioto Valley Railroad is commanded by a GE 70 ton scale locomotive and cars for up to 25 riders. It encircles property and brings smiles to kids of all ages.    What others say ...

When you schedule your meeting or party at The Depot you are renting a true rail museum that adds interest and delight to any meeting or party. You'll be able to serve food in our Great Northern Ranch dining Car, ride the trolley or explore the Vulcan Steam Locomotive that hauled stone from the near by Marble Cliffs quarries. Everywhere you look you will find authentic rail artifacts.

And, we are adding history all of the time.
