County of station: Cheatham County
Location of station: Station Dr., Thompson Rd. & US-70, Pegram
Built: 1898
There seems some conflict on the date of construction. Signage at the depot says 1898, yet some web sites say 1910..I am going with the sign.
Pegram Station was built in 1898 by the NC&StL Railway. In 1957 the station was bought & moved 40 yards from the tracks by the Pegram Community Club who remains the depot owner. After the railroad (now CSX) abandoned passenger service to Pegram in 1927 the station has been used as a post office, a county court room, a polling place & is currently used as a community center. Although modified to serve its current function, the community club has diligently worked to maintain the depot's original track-side facade.

Visit Instructions:
To post a log to an existing U.S. Post Office waymark, you will need to post a picture of the front of the building, with the name of the post office in the background if that is possible.
A description of your Post Office is required, such as when it was built, history, outstanding or unique features, population of the city or town, just do a quick internet search and find an interesting bit of information about the city or town and add it to the long description, to make it more interesting. Even just adding in the population of the area can give others an idea of how many people this post office serves. This description should be at least three sentences.
If your Post Office has any unusual or unique features that you feel others would enjoy viewing, additional pictures are always welcome.
Including your gps device in the picture is not necessary, but wouldn't be cause for disapproval, as long as all other details of your log are acceptable.
