About Greensboro Depot Railroad Museum

The Greensboro Depot Railroad Museum occupies a former passenger and freight depot built in 1907 by the Apalachicola Northern Railroad. It served the community as its main transportation hub until 1966. The building was later moved, converted into a barber shop, and then relocated again to Duffle Avenue in 2007 after a rescue effort. The West Gadsden Historical Society restored it and now runs the museum. Visitors can see railroad memorabilia, tools, equipment, and original furnishings from depots along the line. A highlight is the Billy Howell Railroad Collection, which includes items tied to a family of railroad workers. The society also operates a restored caboose and rents the adjacent Patricia Fletcher Vice Meeting Room for events.
