Where two railroads met
Stevenson was incorporated around 1866 to 1867, and by the 1880 census it was the second largest town in Jackson County. The 2020 census counted 1,955 residents.[2]
The depot, built in 1872, is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and now holds a museum of railroading, Native American culture, pioneer life and Civil War history. Fort Harker was built by the Union Army in the summer of 1862 at the junction of two major railroads.[2]
A town of this size has older buildings on Main Street and open land beyond it. If you are planning a shop, a barn or a storefront, we can talk about what suits your property.[2]
