As the town of Russellville grew up along the Missouri-Pacific railroad, the depot was one of its most important structures and the center of community activity. Today, since the depot has been restored by Main Street Russellville, it holds that honor again, as the site for the farmers’ market, festivals, meetings and more, as well as home to the Main Street Russellville offices.
