    Before making our way back home to Savannah from South Carolina, I researched some towns off of…read moreI-95 and Yemassee seemed like the perfect, quaint little town to stop. The Train Station is an official stop on Amtrak and came up as one of the things to see. The building seemed new-ish and well kept. When we arrived, it was pretty deserted. There was not a soul to be found and all the doors seemed to be locked. I looked up the Amtrak website and there is nothing available here, no services or facilities. I think you have to purchase a ticket online and you just show up to either ride the train or get dropped off at this location. According to the good ol' internet, the station was purchased in 2010 by the town of Yemassee for one dollar. However, while we were there, we ran into two older gentlemen and they discredited that rumor. One of the men said something about the station being purchased during his tenure as Mayor and said something that if they bought the station for one dollar, they were doing pretty good...or something along those lines. Well, how about that? Meeting a former Mayor of Yemassee! One cool fact about this station is that between 1915 to 1965, it is estimated that at least half a million Marine recruits started their careers at Yemassee train station as they passed through here to make their way to Parris Island. There is a plaque on the station wall to recognize this. I wouldn't say you should go out of your way to see the station, but it was cool to run into a former mayor and learn about the history of the station. Also, during our time there (about a total of 15 minutes), there were multiple trains and other train components (not sure what they are called, but maybe maintenance type trains?) that passed us and it was fun for my kids to wave to.

    The staff are so so rude. I almost believed Im a teenager…read moreon 6th grade. This is ridiculous . Btw the train is dirty, restrooms stinking, cafeteria poor.
