Important News

We do not buy books and at this time we have no room for contributed books.

Christians Historic Depot

This is where you will find our stores.
630 Depot St. NE
Christiansburg, VA 24073

Help Support the Depot

We are dependent upon your contributions in order to maintain the Historic Depot. It is privately owned and we could manage the upkeep before the railroad increased the rent of the land upon which it sits from $660/yr to $7,300/year.
That has made a huge dent in our maintenance budget.

Please click the depot bldg. below to contribute using PayPal or your credit/debit card.
THIS IS NOT A TAX DEDUCTIBLE DONATION.
Please help if you can.
