Central of Georgia Depot and Trainshed

Central of Georgia Depot and Trainshed, Railroad museum and historic building complex in historic downtown Savannah, United States.

The Central of Georgia Depot and Trainshed is a red brick passenger terminal and trainshed built in 1860 at the northwest corner of Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard and Louisville Road in downtown Savannah. The terminal now houses the Savannah Visitor Center and the Savannah History Museum, and the wider complex includes a cotton yard, a blacksmith shop, a brick viaduct, an office car and a caboose.

The passenger depot and trainshed were built in 1860 by the Central of Georgia Railway before the Civil War. The depot and trainshed were declared a National Historic Landmark in 1976, and the listing was expanded in 1978 to take in the railway's Savannah shops and terminal facilities. The Coastal Heritage Society opened the Savannah History Museum in the old passenger terminal in 1989. The Nancy Hanks II was the last passenger train to serve the station, running until 1971, when Amtrak took over most passenger operations.

The depot and trainshed were built in 1860 for the Central of Georgia Railway, whose trains ran an Atlanta–Macon–Savannah itinerary. The last of these was the Nancy Hanks II, which operated until 1971, when Amtrak took over most American passenger train operations. The passenger terminal now holds the Savannah History Museum, opened on the site by the Coastal Heritage Society in 1989.

The depot and trainshed stand at the northwest corner of Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard and Louisville Road, in downtown Savannah. The Savannah History Museum occupies the old red brick passenger terminal at 303 Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard, and the Coastal Heritage Society runs the site. The grounds take in a cotton yard, a blacksmith shop, a brick viaduct and the trainshed, so allow time to walk between the buildings.

The site's collection includes an office car and a caboose kept alongside the trainshed, reminders that the depot handled both passengers and freight. The passenger terminal itself now holds the Savannah History Museum, opened by the Coastal Heritage Society in 1989.
