DURING LAYOVER:

• 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.”

• Explore and shop delicious treats from “Gert’s Girls” (4 generations of women) at the Farmers Market, featuring their farms: TNK Produce N More, Silver Falls Farms & Shady Roost Farms.
