Huntsville Depot Museum — Attraction in Huntsville

I just loved bringing my two boys to the train depot! My boys are 4 and 2 so we didn't do the actual museum part, but they loved going in and out of all the big trains. The air conditioned play room with smaller trains and toys was a nice break from the hot sun and helped our 4 year old (who has mild autism) settle down and transition to the big trains(which he was scared of at first). My husband and I had fun climbing on things too! 😊 The sand pit with buckets and shovels was a big hit as well. Plenty of shade everywhere and a nice covered pincic area for a quick snack. We even got to see two real trains go by, which made my boys...

If you are into a great guided tour about civil war history then this is a great place to visit. Our guide Winter was very knowledgeable and explained everything we saw thoroughly. There is a lot of neat stuff here and you will learn a lot. It doesn't look like much at first but, their is a lot of history here. The tour guide is essential as they explain things you never would have picked up if it were self guided. I believe this is a must visit if you have a few days...

This place has DEFINITELY seen better days. You can tell that it is not visited as frequently as it once was. Nothing seems to be kept up in the manner of previous days. Things in the museum were falling apart, covered in dust , the museum lacked Interactive areas and learning opportunities. The tour guide was very nice and did a great job telling the story of the history of the museum I hope that it is brought back to glory. Sad to see it...
