The 1915 Morrilton (Conway County) depot, located within a few feet of the railroad tracks, once served as a passenger station for the railroad that prompted the town’s growth, the Little Rock and Fort Smith. With passenger service discontinued by the 1970s, many such depots were torn down to make room for other structures. The Morrilton depot, shown here not long after its construction, survived to serve as the Morrilton Depot Museum, a repository of local history.
