Depot Park and Railroad House Museum in Sanford, NC

Posted by Rita on Aug 20 2007 | Around Town, Things to do

Sanford started as a railroad town where two different lines crossed in 1871. One of the first homes built was for the depot agent of the Raleigh and Augusta Airline Railroad. This house was built around 1872 at what is now the crossing of Hawkins Street and Charlotte Avenue. The home served as one of Sanford’s first schools and was a home for many years.

When the home was slated for demolition in the 1960s, a group saved the house. It was moved across the street and is now a museum of local history, with a focus on railroads in particular, which were a key part of Sanford’s early history. The museum is frequently opened on the weekends during the spring, summer, and fall months. We visited on a Saturday afternoon and enjoyed browsing around for an hour or so. The museum has old railroad artifacts, farm implements, pictures, typewritters, and an assorment of objects from Sanford’s past. We especially enjoyed vinatge Boy Scout uniforms from my son’s Scout troop.

Steam Locomotive in Depot Park Sanford, NC

This old steam locomotive sits between the Railroad House museum and the Old Railroad Depot in Depot Park. The locomotive is from the Atlantic and Western Railroad. The locomotive was a hit with my daughter who wanted to know the function of every part and piece!

This is a picture of the old railroad depot in Downtown Sanford, NC. The depot currently serves as the headquarters for the Sanford Board of Realtors. The Railroad House Museum and Old Steam Locomotive #12 are on one side of the depot and an ampitheater and park are on the other side.

During the warmer months, Depot Park hosts concerts and other leisure activities. The park features a bandstand, play area, public restrooms, and a splash fountain. The park is an enjoyable place to visit on a warm afternoon for a walk, a visit to the museum, to sit while the children play, or to listen to a concert.

You can find out more about Depot Park and downtown Sanford at the Historic Downtown Sanford website.

Camelback Bridge and Deep River Park near Sanford, NC

Posted by Rita on Aug 19 2007 | Around Town, Things to do

One of the oldest bridges in the Sanford area goes over Deep River from Lee to Chatham County. This bridge is called Camelback Bridge and is named for the hump shape the steel trusses on the bridge make.

There is a small park st the site of this bridge called Deep River park. There are a couple of picnic shelters at the park. The shelter on the right is designed to accommodate wheelchairs.

The scenery around the bridge is very lush and green. This park is frequently used as a put in and take out point for local canoers and kayakers. The park is also used by local fishermen (and women) as a fishing spot.

Camelback Bridge is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

We had a beautiful view of the Deep River from the bridge on the day of our visit. To get to the park, take Cumnock Road North from US 421. Follow the road until you cross the Deep River and the park will be on your left.
