Georgia State Railroad Museum occupies a massive 19th-century roundhouse that once serviced steam locomotives.

The museum's interactive model train layout and occasional short train rides make it a favorite for families and rail enthusiasts alike, offering an immersive look at the golden age of railroading in the South.
