The museum houses a collection of vintage railroad equipment that dates as far back as the era of Reconstruction, days when primitive iron rails endeavored to connect the cotton fields of lowland farms to the vast timber interests of the Appalachians. The city’s musical heritage is deep and wide, so be sure to listen to the music when you walk around the Southeastern Narrow Gauge & Shortline Museum.

Vernon Dalhart’s 1924 version was the first million-selling record of the genre. Listen to the song “Wreck of the ol’ 97,” which was considered the first modern country and western song, by many historians. This second history stop offers you an encounter with southwestern railroad history as shown through music.
