The Carmel Indiana Monon Railroad Depot. Built in 1883 by the Monon Railroad, the depot served as a passenger station until 1961 and freight station until 1974. Following preservation in the 1980’s, the depot now serves as the museum of the Carmel Clay Historical Society, with a small addition constructed on the south end. 12-24-17

The Monon depot was built close to the tracks, which ran where the Monon Greenway Trail is now.  It was moved 50 feet west to its present location in 1980 after donations from school children and many other people could pay for its relocation and restoration. Today it serves as the Carmel Clay Historical Society’s Monon Depot Museum. [CarmelClayHistory]
