Welcome to the Historic

 Rural Retreat Depot

The Rural Retreat Depot was built in the 1860's by the Virginia and Tennessee Railroad, and is now open as an event venue and museum. Our volunteers love to give personal tours of this fully-restored, historic building, that you can arrange by calling Michael at 276-206-2048, or emailing info@therrdepot.com. Click on the Menu tab at the top for more information, and visit our Facebook page for the most recent happenings at the Depot!  The YouTube link takes you to a 30 minute documentary, made in 2013, that shows many scenes of the Depot prior to restoration. Our Email address is info@therrdepot.com.
