Northeast Georgia African-American Museum and Standard Telephone Museum will also participate
The Historic Cornelia Train Depot Museum will take part in the Georgia Historical Society’s Super Museum Sunday for a second year. Over 100 sites across Georgia will participate including the Northeast Georgia African-American Museum and Standard Telephone Museum, both located in Cornelia, GA.
The Train Museum will be open on Sunday, February 9, from 11 a.m.-5 p.m. The museum is located at 102 Grant Place, in Cornelia.
Take a walk back in time when Cornelia was a bustling railroad stop for passengers between Atlanta and Franklin, North Carolina. Hear about the history of the old Tallulah Falls Shortline and the City of Cornelia from a museum tour guide. See the numerous railroad artifacts on display.
Admission to the train museum is free. There is a gift shop where you may purchase a souvenir.
Georgia Historical Society’s Super Museum Sunday is a statewide, annual event. Attendees can experience our state’s rich history and cultural life as historic sites, house museums, art museums, and other points of interest open their doors to the public, providing an opportunity to experience the history in your own backyard.
“This is a good opportunity for people to see and learn about all the interesting historical facts that we offer here in Cornelia, both for locals and tourists,” says Cornelia’s Community Development Manager Jessie Owensby.
