A house RESOLUTION

TO RECOGNIZE AND 
CELEBRATE THE GREENWOOD RAILROAD HISTORICAL CENTER FOR THE GROUNDBREAKING 
CEREMONY OF THEIR NEW SOUTHERN PASSENGER DEPOT. 

Whereas, the members of 
the South Carolina House of Representatives are pleased to hear that on 
Thursday, April 2, 2026, the Railroad Historical Center in Greenwood will host 
a groundbreaking ceremony to celebrate the construction of their new replica Southern 
Passenger Depot; and

Whereas, the Railroad 
Historical Center has been working with DP3 Architects on the design. They are 
recreating an authentic Southern Passenger Depot, complete with the signature 
green and yellow paint for which they were known. DP3 Architects have had the 
privilege of restoring three Southern Passenger Depots across South Carolina and 
hope to continue to honor and reinforce the historical significance of rail 
travel in South Carolina with this new project; and

Whereas, the depot will 
be representative of the Seaboard Passenger Depots of the early 1900s, a symbol 
of small-town economic growth and vitality. The exhibition hall will serve as 
both a museum and an event space, creating an immersive experience that honors 
the region's rail heritage and adds a bright addition to Main Street in 
Greenwood; and

Whereas, this new 
replica depot bridges the past with the present to preserve the rich history of 
Greenwood, while providing a dynamic new community space; and

Whereas, the Railroad 
Historical Center hopes to make this historical treasure accessible to as many 
people as possible, helping to educate them on the huge role that the railroad 
played in the economic growth and cultural development in the region through 
exhibits and interpretations; and

Whereas, this new addition 
will also help improve the community by increasing visitors annually, which 
will benefit local businesses, adding significantly to the prosperity of 
Greenwood County, honoring not only their past, but their future. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:

That the members of the 
South Carolina House of Representatives, 
by this resolution, recognize and celebrate the Greenwood Railroad Historical 
Center for the groundbreaking ceremony of their new Southern Passenger Depot.

Be it further resolved 
that a copy of this resolution be presented to the Railroad Historical Center.
