Salisbury Point Railroad Depot

The little railroad depot building stands inconspicuously but proudly on Water Street in Amesbury’s Lower Millyard, showing little evidence of how much it has traveled in its 150-year life. ACM Board member and historical researcher Joyann Reynolds has explored the history of the depot and written a detailed report tracing the movements and reincarnations of this important piece of Amesbury history, beginning with its construction on Rocky Hill Road near the end of the Civil War.
