Jackson Depot:
The Tennessee Midland Railroad opened its doors at the
Jackson Depot in June 1888 and was there
until 1906 when it was moved 200 yards east of its location to
be used as a general freight office. The present depot
was then built by NC&STL Railway in 1907. Across the street
from the depot in the year 1901, a hotel built by Mr. Neely.
Today it may be seen "Neely House."
Housed in the depot baggage room is an 11 by 20 foot HO
scale model railroad
layout built in 1995 by volunteer labor. In early 2003, the depot
was extensively renovated, following damage suffered
in a devastating tornado. On
July 14, 2007, the depot became 100 year celebration of the NC&STL
Railway Jackson
Depot 1907-2007.
