The Depot Museum in Enterprise, Alabama

Built in 1903, The Depot Museum, also known as the Enterprise Station and the Seaboard Coastline Depot, houses thousands of artifacts donated from families and businesses around the Pea River area of Alabama. The eclectic collection includes the original Boll Weevil statue that sat atop the monument in downtown Enterprise. Other items include period garments, old mill equipment, furniture, weaponry, soldier's uniforms, old medical tools and medicine bottles, children's games, and the old Clintonville Academy school bell. The structure was built in 1903 by the Alabama Midland Railway. Later, the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad acquired it. Freight shipments and passengers began traveling to this area of Alabama via the Alabama Midland railroad in 1893, once the roadbed was constructed. The downtown brick businesses were completed that same year. By 1903, the much-needed depot became the transportation focus of Enterprise. Passengers would gather across the street at the Rawls Hotel, which is allegedly now haunted. The Depot was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1974 and is located just a block away from the Boll Weevil Monument in downtown Enterprise. The Depot was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1974.
