Railroad Ave., Keysville, Virginia

Keysville Railroad Station is a historic railway station located at Keysville, Charlotte County, Virginia. It was built by the Richmond and Danville Railroad in stages between 1890 and 1900, and is a one-story, vernacular frame railroad building. It contains offices and segregated waiting rooms at the north end and a large freight area extending to the south with docks on three sides. It remained in use as a passenger station until 1956. The Keysville Railroad Station appeared as the stations in Eastport, Maine, and in Warm Springs, Georgia, in the filming of Eleanor and Franklin, a television film about the Roosevelts that would earn 11 Emmy awards (1976).

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2008.
