Monroe County Museum-Genealogy
The Society, established in 1975, maintains three railroad-related buildings located along the track of the Norfolk-Southern Railway. A brick passenger depot built in 1899 houses the museum and the Society’s archives. A small brick baggage room built in 1917 is used for small exhibits and meetings. The stone depot, constructed in the 1840s by the Macon and Western Railroad Company, houses the Society’s military display and provides space for large meetings. All three buildings are on the National Register of Historic Places.
