The Cookeville Depot Museum, built in 1909 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places, occupies a central location in Cookeville's historic west side district. Inside the museum, visitors view Tennessee Central Railway artifacts and examine two detailed scale replicas: an HO scale diorama showing Cookeville's west side as it appeared in the summer of 1955, and a replica coal tipple with a model train loading coal. The surrounding grounds function as a park area featuring a static display of a 1913 Baldwin steam engine, a 1920s red Tennessee Central caboose, and two small track cars. The park provides picnic tables and benches, allowing visitors to bring a lunch and spend time exploring the grounds. The museum serves those interested in local railroad history and the industrial heritage of Cookeville, Tennessee.
Admission is free. The venue says: “Admission is free—come visit, stay awhile, and experience the story of Cookeville.”
Hours: Tuesday – Saturday 10:00 am – 4:00 pm
