🚂 Historic train depot gets stunning makeover after five years. The Leesburg Area Historical Society has nearly completed exterior restoration of its 1899 B&O Depot, returning it to its original red and cream colors. The extensive renovation included structural reinforcement, new windows and doors, replaced siding, restored brick platforms, and new sidewalks. Funded primarily through an Ohio Facilities Construction Commission grant and numerous corporate and individual donations, the project will soon add period lighting and safety features. The society is now raising funds for interior renovations to create a handicap-accessible community space for public and private events.
