The Louisville and Nashville Depot is a historic Louisville and Nashville Railroad depot in Milton, Florida. It is located at 206 Henry Street. The station was built in 1909 on the grounds of the fomer Pensacola and Atlantic Depot, which was built in 1882 but was burned down in 1907. In 1973, the station was closed, but partially restored with a 1976 Bicentennial grant. On October 29, 1982, it was added to the U.S. National Register of Historic Places.
