The Mainline Depot, LLC

Welcome to Kanawha

The Mainline Depot is a small town historical Inn. We are honored to extend our small town hospitality to our out of town guests by offering a comfortable home away from home with a nostalgic nod to the historical railway that ran through our small Iowa farming community. The Mainline Depot is housed in the historical Farmers State Bank built in 1900. We desire to be a part in revitalizing our friendly rural town, so that it is “still on track” for future generations.
