The Dennison Railroad Depot Museum

Recognized as a National Historic Landmark, The Dennison Railroad Depot is the most significant remaining example in the nation of a railroad canteen still reflecting its WWII heritage. During WWII, 1.3 Million service members, approximately 13% of all armed personnel, traveling by troop train stopped at the Depot where they were served free food by 3,987 working volunteers at the Dennison Depot Salvation Army Servicemen’s Canteen. Our Homefront hospitality became so well known, that the nickname Dreamsville, USA was given to us by the soldiers themselves.
