Location: Beaverdam Depot

The original Beaver Dam station was built in 1840 and was one of only 10 depots on the line in 1850. It was burned several times during the Civil War. On July 20, 1862 a Federal raid destroyed the depot and captured Colonel John Mosby. The station was rebuilt and then destroyed again on February 29, 1864. Once again the station was rebuilt. In May of 1864, Sheridan was assigned to disrupt Lee’s railroad operations. On May 9, Sheridan’s advance brigade, commanded by Custer, attacked Beaver Dam. The Federal troops burned supplies intended for the Army of Northern Virginia, including nearly all the medical supplies. They also destroyed 29 loaded freight cars, 2 locomotives, and about 1 mile of track.
