Foley Train Museum

The Foley Train Museum is a really neat place to take children on a field trip. It is filled with history of the first train depot in Baldwin County. The L & N Railroad Depot was built in 1905 by Mr. John Foley of Chicago. The main purpose of the Foley train was to ship produce to the markets in the southern part of Baldwin County. After the depot closed down in 1971, Mr. Snook bought it for one dollar! Years later, the depot became a museum filled with pictures and artifacts of southern Baldwin County.
As a young child, I rememember going to the Foley Train Museum. It was very interesting. This year, I hope to take my first graders on a field trip to the museum. I think they will love it!
