The building is the original Southern Railroad Depot for the town of Marshall and served as the depot until the 1970’s when passenger service was discontinued. In 1980 the Depot became the new Friday night jam spot and continues to this day.
The Depot is great for the whole family and you won’t be able to stop yourself from dancing!
If you’re looking to get a taste of the local Madison County music scene, the Depot in downtown Marshall is a great place to experience it. Before checking out the local tunes, be sure to stop by one of the many restaurants in Marshall for some dinner before the show!
