5. The Templeton Train Depot
The depot building is located on the grounds of the Museum

A part of Templeton's history was preserved with the refurbishing of an old railroad building that dated back to when Templeton was at the end of the railroad line. The historic 25' x 51' building was part of the train station complex that was built in the 1880s.
