Welcome to the Toxaway Country Depot -
Your Jumping Off Place
There were probably a lot of little siding shacks in Toxaway Territory in the days of the railroad. I remember the one at Quebec. But there were only two depots in the western part of Transylvania County, one at Lake Toxaway and one at Rosman. The photograph depicts the Rosman (formerly Toxaway) Depot, no longer standing. Confusing? Read On the Eastatoe Road... for clarification. Then check out Toxaway, Old Toxaway, Lake Toxaway - What's in a Name for more of this intriguing history. Grandpa Johnny's Mill and The Rose
