Come See Us!

Travel back in time and see why Hamlet was coined the Hub of the Seaboard back in its heyday! Visits should begin in the Visitor Center for safety protocols.

Founded in 1897

Hamlet functioned as division headquarters for the Seaboard Airline Railroad at the crossing of the two tracks. Upwards of 30 passenger trains daily passed through Hamlet. Downtown boomed with travelers and workers of the railroad. Hotels, shops, and restaurants served this thriving community.
