The Old Depot Association & Gallery

Celebrating 32 Years of Community Service

The Old Depot Association, a non-profit and volunteer organization, was started in 1976 to protect and maintain the 100 year old train depot and support the teaching of mountain and heritage crafts in the local Swannanoa Valley Schools. The Association funds community programs which meet these goals.
The Association sponsors scholarships (See Below) to assist artisans from Western North Carolina to further study within their field. The Depot Association offers various craft classes during the summer and sponsored an arts program in each of five public schools to meet the needs of the art teacher's curriculum. Go to the Gallery
