Morrow Depot
Our 2026 Ornament
We're excited to announce our next Christmas ornament is the Depot in Morrow!
This building was built in the early 1840s to accommodate the Little Miami Railroad that was built through the village in 1845.
In February 1861 President-Elect Lincoln's inaugural train stopped in Morrow. He and Mrs. Lincoln got off the train here. President Lincoln gave a short speech, and Mrs. Lincoln was given a bouquet of flowers. If you go to the depot today you can stand where Abraham Lincoln stood!
The depot is currently a brewery and ranks among the oldest depots in the Midwest.
The ornament is $20 and can be purchased on this website (just click on the image or click on "Shop" at the top of the page). It can also be purchased locally at our History Center in Maineville Elementary on Tuesdays and Wednesdays 10:00-2:00, at Grace and Mae Boutique in the Morrow Arts Center, at Vintage Vibe Co. across from the Morrow Shopping Center and at Depot Brewing Company located in the Depot!
We still have a selection of past years' ornaments - Pleasant Plain, Morrow, Maineville and Butlerville Elementary Schools and the first Little Miami High School on Welch Road.
Check out the video below on the history of trains in Morrow!
The ornaments are our only fundraiser, and your purchase helps us to preserve our shared local history! Thank you for your support!
