The Prosperity Depot in Prosperity, South Carolina, is a historic railroad station that has been preserved as a community landmark. Originally built in 1886 by the Columbia, Newberry & Laurens Railroad, it replaced an earlier depot destroyed by fire. The depot served as a vital transportation hub for the town until passenger services ceased in 1952. In 2014, the depot was rededicated after extensive restoration efforts, including repainting and the return of historical artifacts. Notably, Bishop Fredrick James, who had been denied entry to the segregated waiting room as a child, participated in the ribbon-cutting ceremony, symbolizing the depot’s transformation and the town’s commitment to inclusivity. ​

Today, the Prosperity Depot serves as a venue for various community events, including weddings, reunions, and dances. Its charming architecture and rich history make it a unique setting for visitors to explore and appreciate the town’s heritage.
