Adding a great artifact to the depot
In 2015, Buena Vista Heritage acquired a vintage safe that now resides in the Depot Museum. We obtained it from a family in Hartsel, who had bought it from the Hartsel Railroad Depot in 1919. We needed $1500 to cover the cost. Thank you to everyone who contributed to this effort.
Pictured with the safe are BVH board members Suzy Kelly and Vic Kuklin, who helped with the purchase and the moving of the safe. We also sincerely appreciate the help of Bryce Kelly, Sue Kuklin, Roger Williams and Jack, Amy and Chad Close.
The safe is located in the depot mail room, as historically, registered mail was required to be locked up.
