The Cowpens railroad depot
was built in the late 1800's (circa 1874) for the Air Line
Railroad Company. Local citizens saved the depot from destruction (1980),
moved it to its current location (1982), and had it placed on the National
Register of Historic Places (1997).
The Cowpens Depot
Museum and Civic
Center houses items donated by crewmen and local citizens
emphasizing the WWII naval history. Displayed items include clothing,
photos, medals, and personal letters of former USS Cowpens crewmen.
Open by
appointment and during special events and holidays. Contact Town Hall for
more information.
