Shafter Depot

Historic Sites and Museums need your help.

Throughout the country, important historic sites, homes, buildings, and museums are in trouble. Because of the recent rise in gasoline prices and the general world-wide financial collapse, historic sites and museums are in danger of closing. Some are being forced to sell off artifacts and property. Most operate on a thin margin and will not weather these hard times without your help.

Places Earth urges everyone to support these vital and important public resources any way you can. Please find a worthy local or distant historic site or museum that is in financial danger and donate your treasure, time, and talent.

Shafter Depot

The Great Central Valley of California is filled with wonderful agricultural towns such as Shafter, in the middle of Kern County. Shafter, located between two major highways, is one of the hundreds of small towns going about its business, bypassed by most of the people traveling north and south along Highways I-5 and 99. The Shafter Depot is just one of thousands of small railroad depots that are no longer in service. The community of Shafter has turned their depot into the Shafter Depot Museum.
