Plains Depot, Hudson & Main Streets, Plains, Sumter County, GA
Summary
Significance: Although architecturally modest, the wood-frame depot was the significant factor in the founding of Plains. When the railroad was built in 1885, the towns of Magnolia Springs and the Plain of Dura were moved and consolidated around the site of the depot. More recently, the depot was used as Jimmy Carter's headquarters during his 1976 presidential campaign.
