About Lake Waccamaw Depot Museum

This museum occupies a 1904 railway depot in the town of Lake Waccamaw, North Carolina, close to the lake that gives the town its name. The building was abandoned in 1974, but a local women's club stepped in to save it. Its displays cover a wide span of time, from Neolithic-era objects through Civil War material to recent items tied to life on the lake. The museum is open on a limited weekly schedule and offers visitor tours.
