Depot wood stove finds a new home

Many of us will miss seeing the antique wood stove at the depot, but it was often in the way, so it has found a new home across the street at Farmer's Supply. Visit Tobie and Joe soon - and often!

Longtime Depot Board president Larry Bean passed away May 17, 2024
 

He kindly designated The Chelsea Depot Assn. for memorial contributions. 

A memorial bench was installed in front of the depot this past fall. 

 We'll think of you every time a train goes by, friend.

Painting the flagpole

Board president and Paint Doctor Todd Gillihan painted the dilapidated flagpole at the depot last fall,

replaced the flag, and we are now able to change it on or own - without calling the local fire department!

Todd is also a hometown hero featured in this Sun Times article!

We are indebted to our neighbor

(and U. of M. rowing coach!)

Gregg Hartsuff, 

for keeping our grass cut and looking neat around the depot. 

And as always, to the

 Evening Primrose Garden Club

 for the beautiful plantings!
