History

Founded in 2021

My husband’s grandfather bought the Whalan Depot in 1955 after the railroad quite taking passengers. The depot had been not used for many years. We spent 2020 cleaning, painting, and fixing the Depot. I felt the community and tourists could use a place to stop and get a quick snack and drink along the trail. I also added handmade gifts from seven local artisans in addition to bike accessories, kids games, souvenirs, and much more.
