About Mitchell Depot Historical Museum

The former railroad depot in downtown Mitchell now serves as a history museum. It sits along Georgia Highway 102 and once served as a station on the Augusta Southern Railroad. The town says the building holds historical objects connected to Glascock County, including old papers and photographs. At the time of the town's page, the depot was closed to visitors, with officials hoping to reopen it soon.
