MKT Depot in Waxahachie
Lakes Trail Region
501 S. Rogers St.
Waxahachie, Texas 75165
Built in 1908 and restored in 2010, the depot served as a stop on the Missouri-Kansas-Texas rail line hauling locally grown cotton to markets and local soldiers to and from several wars. Passenger service was discontinued in 1964, but the depot continued to service freight trains on their way through Waxahachie until 1988. Now restored, it is a part of the Boyce Feed & Grain expanded retail operation.
The nearby historic Rogers Street Bridge is perhaps the most unique engineering feature in the historic district. Manufactured by the Wrought Iron Bridge Company in Canton, Ohio, it was shipped by rail to Waxahachie and assembled on site. Today, it is a connected piece of the Waxahachie Creek Hike & Bike Trail.
