Burgaw Depot is a historic train station located at Burgaw, Pender County, North Carolina. It was built about 1850 by the Wilmington and Weldon Railroad, with a later 1898 T-shaped addition of passenger waiting rooms and offices and a 1916-1917 addition of freight and warehouse space. It is a long one-story rectangular frame building sheathed in a combination of lap and board and batten siding, and resting on cement, brick and wooden foundations. It is one of only two known surviving antebellum depots in North Carolina; the other is located at Selma, North Carolina.[2]
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.[1] It is located in the Burgaw Historic District.
