One of Winchester’s historic buildings is hoping to host more community events this year after several completed renovations.
The Winchester Depot has been the home of the Scott County Historical Society since the mid-80s. The depot, at that time, was in a decrepit state and was put through a series of renovations under the leadership of the late Audrey “Queenie” Peak.
Peak’s granddaughters, Stevie VanDeVelde along with her sister Sonnie Hoover have helped the Historical Society oversee recent renovations to keep the historic building in public use.
