This place is so cool! So much to look at and learn, fabulous collection of vintage items, and the diorama in the front room is beautifully detailed and contains a mini scavenger hunt. Truly fun for all ages

Very informative about the area, great display of history. A must see

Definitely a must see location. So much history in one place. My little one lives going in to the museum and checking out the train outside.

Great central location to take advantage of all of downtown cookeville, and if you play Pokemon GO!, then its the place to start. Tons of gyms and pokestops

Wish it had been open. But got nice photos from outside. It was pouring down rain. Remnants from hurricane that hit the Carolinas. Will try to visit again when Im in the area.

Its cool to hang out there with a friend and talk with them and see whats happening.

It’s always closed. Wait. Am I technically reviewing the train too? Because the train is cool. I was going to give the Depot Museum two stars, but now that I might also be reviewing the train, I have no choice but to give it five.

A most beautiful tourist attraction especially if you love steam engines. I hope the recent Tornado didnt damage it.

Amazing the information that is available from the volunteers there. Great place for kids to actually see what happened in a train depot. Get up close to a real steam train.

Great little train museum we really enjoy taking my son here. He climbs all over the train and has a blast every time.

Main attraction of Cookeville downtown. It’s definitely a good choice for short visit.

Geocaching led us to this gem of the city.

Kid friendly -things to watch &do. A train exhibit with things to find, good info on how trains helped the area & then no longer being used. Historical exhibits but not overwhelming.

Such a cool place. Very interesting to see the different artifacts. The lady who works there is very helpful & super sweet. A must see.

Cute train Depot downtown. Friendly and fun for the kids.

Its beautiful,my family loves it.The staff is very inviting and informative. We just think its great

Great place to stop and stretch our legs. The kids really enjoyed seeing the model trains!

My visit there was very nice. I really enjoyed the displays and got to read a lot of information about the history of the city and how the railroad played a major part in its growth.There are indoor and outdoor displays. There is also a schedule posted as to times and days of guided informational tours also. Great educational tour for railroad buffs and the forever curious kids.

The depot is for train enthusiasts. Small trains to a full size steam engine. There were even several two person work carts.

We really enjoy this little gem here in Cookeville. This is a family-friendly place. Not too strenuous for little ones. They will enjoy seeing the Thomas the Train program which runs continuously. There are two antique railroad cars on the premises which are accessable for viewing. Entrance to the museum is free. You can make a goodwill donation if you choose. Each child that visits receives a gift bag. The staff is extremely friendly and good with kids. We bring all of our out-of-town guests to the museum and to this area of town. It is very quaint with lots of history. There are lots of places to eat, antique shops, and cute little boutiques to explore.

Lots of information and fun facts about Cookeville. Loved the 509 Locomotive and cars.

My younger boys love this Depot. We get Ice cream across the street, and back to the depot to explore . Ive been probably a dozen times the staff has always been very nice and interactive with all the children.

We love our historic Depot museum. It is so much fun.

Very nice historic site. The kids can play on the train. Super nice.

A must stop in Cookeville, especially for history and train buffs. A perfect place for kids to enjoy and learn about trains. I recommend visiting the Cookeville History Museum & finishing with ice cream at Cream City.

Always a great place to visit... Anyone who likes trains show visit

Can i get aChOo cHoO???

Come in and learn about the cookeville railroad system. Great collection of junk. The kids think its cool.

Love bringing my grandchildren here they love exploring the old trains

I love this place. So much fun for our kids. Tons of history.

Our lil Granddaughter thinks this is the only place to go in Cookville .

Awesome place to look at the way the railroad used to be. My daughter and her friend had a great time looking at the train and caboose as well as the museum.

Love this place. Its a short stop on a tour of Cookeville with very friendly, knowledgeable staff. Get an ice cream cone across the street and stroll through this place some day. Not bad. Entry is always FREE.

Fantastic history on display. Very close to lots of shops and restaurants. Be sure to visit Cream City Ice Cream. So good!

Love this place and the history of it..

Fun place for kids and history buffs

Great working model inside the old station office showing the area in the past. Old engine and rail cars to wander through, historic equipment to guess the use of, great ice cream parlor & coffee shop across the street. All in all, a great, al-be-it small museum!

Nice place to visit

So much fun

What a wonderful exhibit very Interactive a good experience for both young and old and the staff was also very knowledgeable

Great for pictures and very informative

Great little stop to visit in the heart of a revived downtown

I never really thought that this place was anything special but I decided to take my kids there one day and they loved it. Theres trains to play in and a whole play room in the back where they can color and play with toys.

Nice place to visit. Very interesting place.

Fun and friendly staff! Such a fun place to take friends from out of town or any little ones:)

A local Cookeville icon and a must see. There are very friendly, knowledgeable people that work there. A great way to learn a little local history.

Kids really enjoyed this and its free

Great place for pictures or to just hang out with friends!

A great place to take your kids and spend some time looking at the trains, with a super friendly staff.

I always enjoy all the activities and events that are held there.

Wonderful place to visit especially with kids

So historical, very interesting

If you want a hands-on learning opportunity about Cookevilles role in the Tennessee Central Railroad, this is the place to go. The 509 is renovated with a viewing panel, and Cream City Ice Cream is right across the road. Check out Ralphs just south on S Cedar for Tennessees best donuts

Very interesting place.

My grandsons loves trains

We have been 3 times trying to get to tour the train after school. All the times the train was locked up before 4. We were there at 3:30 and it was already locked

Absolutely loved this gem in the south. The folks were great too this Yankee.

Very nice museum on site. Also free!

Spectacular experience! Friendly Virginia native was real informative, and got to see the train roll by- waived to the passengers, and took some pictures.

Fun little depot to visit. The staff is super friendly and it is nice to see a lesser known RR.

Loaded with history and worth a visit.

Great place to take pics

Cute little place that shows history of the railroad and country.

While we ate our yummy ice cream from across the street we sat on the benches at the depot and just enjoyed the view and ambiance of this great little town. This is a must stop through TN

Really good park like museum. There are several train cars open for exploration.

Great stop for history and fun as is the area surrounding the depot.

Interesting historic area of Cookeville

My grandson ... My sister and I really enjoyed it

Fun little stop for the kids.

Kind of a small place but the history in the feel of the Old South is still there it was a nice day trip probably because it only took like a half an hour 45 minutes LOL

Great museum. The staff is very knowledgeable of the history.

A nice place to learn about local and time period history. Took about 15 or 20 minutes to go through.

Ran around for a bit here. The kids liked climbing up and down on the train cars, engines, and caboose. Across the street from cream city.

Very interesting. Nice informed people

Trains cool to look st nice little place

Its actually a pretty nice little place. It gives a little bit about history and seems decently maintained!

Great exhibits. Trains open to the public. Friendly volunteers.
