About Chuckey Depot Museum at Jonesborough

This museum tells the story of the Chuckey community's depot and the railroad heritage of the surrounding region. Themed exhibits rotate twice a year and often highlight regional lines such as the Southern, Clinchfield, and East Tennessee and Western North Carolina railroads. Other displays cover railroading history more broadly, with artifacts from across the country. The depot was moved from Chuckey to Jonesborough after facing demolition, and a restored red caboose sits beside it.
