Great little railroad museum right next to the tracks. Lots of little gems to looks at from the old RR days. Place has been restored and has the upstairs living quaters to walk through as well. Super cute and some really cool stuff to look at if you're into railroad memorabilia.

So pleasantly surprised with the museum, especially our curator, Ann Hitchcock!. Superb educational experience with a personal narrative that made it extra engaging.

Virgil Atchley and Gladys Quinn Atchley lived in this Depot during the twenties and thirties. Gladys played both organ and piano to delight the passengers waiting on the trains. She was a very accomplished musician and enjoyed ragtime and the popular American tunes of that day. Virgil was a brakeman, later an electrician for the railroads.

When we went on a Thursday it wasn't too crowded. My husband and I got a ton of information from a volunteer named Mitch. So much history around these trains. The actual building was really awesome and it's historic. Plus lots of displays and objects inside that made me think about the everyday maintenance of the trains and how they traveled before we had cars...

The volunteer giving the free tour of the train Depot was very friendly and knowledgeable. Wished we had more time to finish the tour and the upstairs living quarters.The depot is beautifully restored and the artifacts on display truly tell how train life was in the past. This is a must stop and see while you are visiting the National Frontier Trails...
