Depot Museum

The Depot building was constructed in 1928 by the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad as a passenger station. It is in the Mediterranean Revival style that was so popular at the time with stuccoed walls and a barrel tile roof. The depot was converted to a museum in the late 1970's. The museum displays antique quilts, dolls, and Indian artifacts throughout the ear, as well as other artifacts of local interest. The Depot is home-central for the Lake Wales Historic Society.
