Cowan Railroad Museum represents the powerful history
of transportation and industry in Tennessee’s South Cumberland region. Housed in the old Cowan Depot, the museum is Tennessee’s second official state railroad museum and is also listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The busy mainline railroad through Cowan started construction in 1849 and features the noteworthy Cumberland Mountain Tunnel. Cowan was also a terminus for the famous Mountain Goat line that extended through Sewanee and into the coal fields of Grundy County. At the time of construction, the Mountain Goat was the steepest railroad in the world. The railroad helped lead the area’s industrial revolution by attracting a steel mill, logging operation, tourism, and a university.
The museum features a diverse collection of railroad photos, tools, and relics that take you back to the age of steam and steel. Kids and adults will all enjoy a large model railroad designed to represent the area’s landscape and architecture. The museum tour guides have stories to tell, and the gift shop can help you take home memories of this small-town experience. The Museum is located in the historic depot district and is open May through October: Thursday, Friday, Saturday 10 to 4, and Sunday 1 to 4. Admission is $2/person.
