Southeastern Railway Museum

Founded in 1970 and spanning 35 acres, the Southeastern Railway Museum boasts a remarkable collection of rolling stock that is not only significant to Georgia’s history but to the broader story of American transportation. With artifacts that span the origins of rail travel, key political events, and the Civil Rights Movement, the museum offers a unique perspective on America’s history through the lens of its railroads. Noteworthy rail cars on site include former President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s Marco Polo and the 1911 Pullman Superb, the latter listed on the National Register of Historic Places, further underscoring the historic value the site offers.
