About The Greenback Depot - A Railway Retreat
Step back in time at The Greenback Depot - A Railway Retreat, one of Greenback's most cherished historical landmarks. This meticulously preserved railway station maintains its authentic early 20th-century character while serving as an exclusive private event venue. The original hardwood floors, exposed wooden beams, and period architectural details transport visitors to the golden age of rail travel.
While not open for casual touring, the depot comes alive as a sought-after destination for weddings, family reunions, and corporate gatherings. The main hall features soaring ceilings and abundant natural light streaming through the original window configurations, accommodating up to 150 guests comfortably. The former ticket office now serves as a charming preparation space for wedding parties or event organizers.
Every Tuesday, the depot grounds transform into a vibrant farmers' market where local artisans and farmers showcase their goods. Visitors can browse stalls offering seasonal produce, handcrafted soaps, local honey, artisanal goat cheese, and fresh-baked treats. The market runs from 3-7 PM during warm months, weather permitting.
For those interested in hosting an event, the venue requires advance booking and offers various rental packages. The space includes modern amenities like climate control and updated restrooms while maintaining its historical integrity. Note that as this is primarily an event venue, casual visits aren't permitted outside of the weekly market.
