Tour of the Historic South Dayton Depot:
The South Dayton Depot, built in 1875, offers a fascinating tour of its historic building. The northeast corner of the freight room is dedicated to William Neubeck, a longtime station agent and telegrapher who retired in 1980 and was honored in 2022. Restored in 2007, the depot also features a movie theatre, with the freight room home to the iconic ticket window used in Robert Redfords famous movie “Planes, Trains, and Automobiles.”
