Comments/Directions:
The Depot was originally built in the 1870's by the Chicago, Danville & Vincennes (CD&V) RR. The Chicago & Eastern Illinois (C&EI) RR took it over and operated it until the 1960's when it closed. The depot was sold & moved to Monee, IL to Thompson's Winery where it was used as a gift shop until the 1980's. It was returned to it's original site in Beecher in 2000, and renovated to it's present state. It is a standard wooden depot and one of the last of its kind left on the C&EI route. It is the home of the local historical society and is open on Saturdays from 10 a.m. until noon.
