"The Historic Venice Train Depot"
by George Miller
March 8 at 11am
An overview and history of the railroad and the Venice Depot. The Venice Depot was built 16 years after the Seaboard Railway was extended to Venice from Sarasota. Once called the most beautiful railroad station on the Seaboard rail system, this building became inextricably intertwined with the development of Venice. Spend an hour learning about the important role the Venice Depot played, from its dedication on March 27, 1927, to the delivery of a restored Ringling Circus Train Car on January 28, 2021. Meet the major players in this saga: the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, the Kentucky Military Institute, the Army Air Corps, and the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus.
