The Oakland Mills depot by the Skunk River was built by the Keokuk and Mt. Pleasant Railroad sometime around 1882. The line eventually became part of the Burlington. When the line was shut down, the depot was moved and became part of a store and more recently Butch's River Rock Cafe which has closed down since Butch died. The building is going to be torn down, but the owner wants to save the depot portion. Henry County Conservation headquarters is located across the river and they are going to step in to preserve the depot and keep it in the Oakland Mills area. We can't tell from the photo if the depot was just a three sided shelter or if it had a front. If anyone knows anything about this depot, I can pass on the information.
