Depot Opens to Public

Acworth residents got their first look at the Acworth Depot during the grand opening and ribbon cutting ceremony June 26. The facility on Main Street features a history center inside the reconstructed depot, as well as public restrooms to support downtown visitors. For several months, the Save Acworth History Foundation collected historic artifacts from the community to add to the displays. Static displays line the walls of the depot, along with interactive kiosks that allow visitors to hear the city’s history as experienced by Acworth residents, and to watch 19 professionally produced videos telling the story of Acworth’s rich history.

Looks like 1950 was an important year for the city.
The large interactive display features 19 informative videos.
One of the original freight scales circa 1870 from the old Acworth Depot. The scale was donated by Leman “Moose” McCray and the McCray family.
What once was a small parking lot at the corner of Main and Lemon streets is now an inviting space for downtown visitors, highlighted by the reconstructed depot next to the pedestrian bridge.
