Moved from the nearby railroad line to its present location on US 84, Du Pont’s historic depot is a different kind of landmark today.
Anyone who’s ever passed by has most certainly noticed the combination antique store/junkyard, filled with rusting porch gliders, bed frames, claw-foot bathtubs, and everything in between. Even the kitchen sink can be found here. Somewhere. It’s a hoarder’s dream come true, and though many call it junk, it’s a work of art in its own right.
Everyone of a certain age surely remembers chairs like these.
And just in case you need an old Coke machine, they’ve probably got a few lying around.
As of 2021, all of the salvage and antiques are no longer present at the depot.
Would love to visit
My daddy took me in there so many times, I spent my entire childhood in Dupont I love this little place.My Daddy bought my mama a beautiful antique glassware set from there for their anniversary one year. That place has so many hidden gems in there, I loved walking around in there with daddy as he would point out different things and telling me all about them.
Love that place! Was raised in DuPont! Moved away a couple months ago! I lost my Daddy January 1 this year! It just wasn’t the same without him there!
I don’t suppose you know the name (Bargain Depot?) and phone number for that old antique place in Dupont GA off Hyw 84, do you? I need to call them and ask about a couple of things. I am in Savannah Ga stationed at Hunter Army Airfield.
