Southern RR Station, Montpelier VA, 7-6-1999

            Montpelier Station is located along Virginia State Route 20 3.5 miles (5.6 km) west-southwest of Orange. Montpelier Station has a post office with ZIP code 22957. The community is home to a historic railroad depot, which opened in 1910 and became an exhibit at James Madison's Montpelier estate in 2010.

Built in 1910 by William duPont from plans provided by the Southern railway, the Train Depot allowed duPont to travel to his work in Delaware and receive goods shipped to Montpelier.

Adjacent to Montpelier's main entrance, you will see a small yellow building constructed in 1910 to serve as a train depot and post office for the duPont family. Pursuant to existing laws in Virginia and across the South, this building was designed and initially constructed as a segregated public space. White and black passengers were physically separated into two waiting rooms, one marked "white" and the other marked "colored." James Madison's Montpelier recently restored this segregated building to its original 1910 layout in order to document this unjust period of legalized segregation in American history.
