Tennessee - Nashville, Chattanooga, and St.L Louis Depot

Jackson, TN - The Nashville, Chattanooga, and St.L Louis depot was built in 1907. The brick structure was designed to complement nearby Lancaster park with its beautiful gardens, mineral electro-chalybeate wells, baseball park and fairgrounds. The City of Jackson has restored the depot into a museum of local railroad history a lasting tribute to the impact of railroads on the growth of Jackson and Madison County. The museum's collection includes photographs, artifacts, and related memorabilia associated with the G.M.&O. RR., I.C. RR., N.C. & St.L. RY. and their family trees. Also located on the grounds open for view are a 1947 F.E.C. Dining car and two cabooses. An elaborate working HO scale model railroad with over 500ft. of track and 4 trains running at once, built by the Jackson Area Model Railroaders Club depicts Jackson's rich railroad history and receives rave reviews from our visitors. Come and play the game "Can You Find" on the model railroad layout with over 40 items to find on the layout.
