Great informational Tourist attraction! I totally can understand back when there was flash photography as to why they wouldn't allow pictures to be taken, BUT with today's digital cameras in cellphones there is NO WAY the different momento's and stuff on display will get damaged. Vacationers traveling in Motorhome's/RV's LOVE to share their travels with other fellow RV Travelers on Blogs and Facebook etc etc. What better advertisement can you get??! Not being able to take pictures to share is just terrible! Your County Commissioners NEED to re-think and CHANGE that OLD Rule they created so many years ago!! I was only able to take a few pictures of the outside and a silly train caboose.

The Fort Payne Depot Museum is a wonderful collection of local history and memorabilia. The building is great and very well preserved. There are at least three collections here. One on the indigenous people, another on the railroad depot and a third on local military veterans. The museum is packed full of wonderful artifacts and the staff are friendly and super knowledgeable. A great spot to visit.

Lovely place, the lady inside with her kid gave a warm reception & forewarned regarding rains and subsequent delays, just opposite to the entrance are public 🚻 so do visit this place as it's absolutely free 👌

🚂 Take a step back in time at the Fort Payne Depot Museum!

This stunning 1891 pink sandstone depot, built in the Richardson Romanesque style, once served passengers of the Alabama Great Southern Railroad until 1970. Today, it’s filled with rich local history — from railroad memorabilia and handcrafted 1913 dioramas to Native American artifacts and more.

But the real hidden gem? A charming children’s area tucked inside a reversed caboose! 🎨🚂 Hand-painted murals and a mini train make it the perfect spot for little explorers.

Our little had the best time learning, climbing, and discovering — and the best part? Admission is FREE (donations welcomed)!

A must-visit for families, history buffs, and anyone who loves a good...
