What else is there to do in Dayton on Memorial Day weekend during the Historic Dayton Days festival? You've got to come see the ongoing exhibit in the upstairs gallery at the Historic Depot: Hands that Built a Community!
10am - 5pm Wed - Sat | don't miss this opportunity 🚂

Before there were highways and modern storefronts, there were calloused hands, careful stitches, and hammer blows that echoed across the valley.

The new temporary exhibit in the upstairs gallery, Hands That Built a Community, celebrates the farmers, craftspeople, builders, and artists whose daily labor shaped Columbia County. Their work was practical. Their impact was lasting.

Visit us at the Historic Depot Museum and step into the stories that built the place we call home. See our website for more information about the exhibit and regular visitor hours.
