Carlsbad Santa Fe Depot

Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway used the Carlsbad Santa Fe Depot until 1957. The depot was built in 1907, replacing the original 1887 building, and also served as a telegraph office, post office, Well Fargo Express office, and general store. It served in later years as a shipping point for local fruit, vegetables and flowers. Closed in 1960, it is now a Visitor’s Information Center. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
