the Salem Depot Train Station has been a fixture in our town since the early 1800's when many travelers coming from other towns to parts unknown stopped at our little station for a respite from travel. Centered halfway between Boston Massachusetts and Concord New Hampshire, Salem Depot was the natural place for travelers of the day to take a brief respite from their journey. While time has taken it's toll on this little treasure in the depot but the good news is it has been examined and is structurally in tact, so most of it's condition is cosmetic.
