RENT THE HISTORIC LEXINGTON DEPOT
The Lexington Depot, located in the heart of Lexington at 13 Depot Square, is owned by Lexington Historical Society. The Depot was built in 1846 and served as an active train station until rail service was terminated in 1977. The Society acquired the building in 1999 and completed renovations in 2005.

The Depot houses the Society’s offices and is available for rent to Society members and Lexington residents and businesses. Consider renting our space for your next family celebration, community event or corporate function.
