A discussion was held at the May meeting of setting a work day to clean up around the former L&N Depot in downtown Madisonville. In discussion with Rick Bivins, he and I decided upon a date of Saturday, June 7th at 9am. Thankfully it wasn’t an overly hot day! A lot was accomplished that needed to be done. The overgrown bushes on the south side of the building were cut out, new spindles were installed on the wheelchair ramp, weeds were cut back, the signs were sanded in preparation for new paint around the trim, light bulbs were moved around and installed for better lighting inside, and general clean up was performed. Although not finished, a huge step forward was taken and the depot looks better!
