About The Depot (Depot Park History Center)

The Save Acworth History Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, runs a history center in Depot Park on South Main Street in downtown Acworth. The center aims to show the town's past as a railroad hub, a milling town, and a farming community. A kiosk plays video histories of the city and recollections from residents collected through the foundation's video history series. Visitors can also see the original freight scales from the 1893 depot and donated artifacts, along with oral history videos from longtime residents. The park sits where a railroad depot served the community for more than a century.
