We are an independent, non-profit volunteer organization collaborating with the Callicoon Business Association and the Upper Delaware Scenic Byway Association in the redevelopment of the historic Callicoon Depot into a visitor’s center.
Callicoon Depot Inc is a non-profit organization whose purpose is to establish a Town Square, Community Center, and Visitor Center at the historic train depot to encourage tourism, promote economic development, and improve the quality of life for the residents of Callicoon and the surrounding region.
What we’re working on…
Completing all pre-requisite work and activating primary grant for major development. An architectural firm was hired in April 2025 to prepare design drawings and construction documents for Phase 1 renovations.

A Request for Proposals (RFP) for construction services to to renovate the interior of the Depot, with the exception of the freight room, will be released in early 2026.
Grant applications have been submitted to replace the roof and repair the exterior of the building.
Monthly Open Houses (April through October) and community events are being planned for 2026. See the “Events” page for more information.
A monthly Depot Market will be held from May through November. See the “Depot Market” page for more information.
Periodic Town Hall informational meetings will continue.
Site beautification and gardens with outdoor seating and access to free Wi-Fi service will also continue.
Prints of two paintings of the Depot by local artist Jay Brooks are available for purchase at Callicoon Real Estate. The print sales will help raise funds for the depot renovation. Email allaboard@thecallicoondepot.org for more information.
