This building originally located four blocks southeast of
this site was opened for use and dedicated October 11, 1917.
Until closed in 1978, this building served as Shafter's
gateway to the world as the mail, Western Union Telegraph,
express, freight, and rail passengers passed through its
doors. The concern for the preservation of this building
resulted in the formation of the Shafter Historical Society
in July of 1979. In March 1980, the society accepted the
gift of the depot from the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe
Railway Co. and moved it to this site donated by the Harlin
Wilson family and by the S.A. Camp Ginning Co. With much
public support, the society restored the building to its
original format and dedicated it for many more years of
service as the Shafter Museum, October 9th, 1982.
This property has been placed on the National Register of
Historic Places by the United States Department of Interior.
