South Side Depot

Petersburg, WV

The South Side Depot was built in 1911 just a year after the railroad came to Petersburg, WV. The building was originally built as a general store that offered merchandise as well as feed supplies. Today the store boasts of hand made West Virginia items from foods and crafts to pottery and photography and so much more. We compliment these items with specially selected home decor and primitives as well as furniture and antiques. Visitor's Center inside- pets welcome- Come say Hi!
