Taking a tour through the old Casey Jones Museum and Railroad Depot was very interesting and was not expensive at all. While you are there make sure you take the time to get a bite to eat at the Country Store Restaurant and Gift shop/Bakery that is across the parking lot from the Museum. You should not regret it.

We visited here wanting to take a trip at a distance we could drive, since we are still somewhat concerned about flying due to the pandemic. This was the first time we have been more than 40 miles from home since last November. We enjoyed the Museum and the Casey Jones home and at $5.50 per person for seniors, it was very affordable. There is a very informative film describing the life and tragic death of Casey Jones and the Museum is filled with interesting Railroad memorabilia and Jones family artifacts. You can see a replica of engine 382 and climb aboard and get a photo. Nice shops in the area to explore as well

This a neat museum to stop and see. The price was only $5.50 for seniors and $6.50 for everyone else. There was a small media center that tells the life of Casey Jones but they didn’t play the great full dead song. There is Casey’s house and a train to climb on and take pictures great gift shop

Was disappointed at this as I remember the TV programme growing up in UK - the song going through my head. The shop sold anything and everything you can imagine, but the restaurant looked like something from the 50s and 60s. We only had an ice cream in the end before jumping in the car and carrying on to Nashville.

Probably is pretty cool. Just make sure you get there more than a half hour before they close. We got there at 4:30 (stopped while on a road trip from out of state) and they wouldn’t let us tour. I was excited to see it after I saw the billboards along the way. Bummed we didn’t get to.

Management please look at your facility with fresh eyes. This is not good. Presentation, quality was very lacking. Old outdated building inside no appeal at all. Food was not fresh and presentation was lacking. No labels stating what anything was which when appearance is lacking appeal, description would help.
We tried to like it just was overcooked and not good.
I would also check your buffet warmers. If health department would come in you probably would be shut down. Warm at best.
I don’t want to be harsh but you all need some work. The servers were awesome attentive that was it.

Next to the Casey Jones Museum is a restaurant and some shops. We stopped at one of the shops, Sweet Magnolia. It was quaint and interesting. Bought some things, but we did not check out the other places, an art gallery and a restaurant. I would recommend this shop just because of the diverse selection, expensive to cheap, and the staff. When we were there, there was a young lady working who was delightful, and then she had to help her dad come inside because he had a disability, so it's family run by really nice people.

We enjoyed an afternoon here learning about the legend, Casey Jones. Nice museum with a movie and artifacts of Casey Jones’s life. Also, his home is on this site, as is a full-sized replica of his train. Be sure to check out the restaurant in this area, too. Best banana pudding I’ve had in a good while! Friendly staff make this an enjoyable experience. Bring the kids and help them learn a little history.

How much time should we allow to see the Village including lunch?

Hi I would say about 2 -3 hrs, I loved this place it brought a lot of memories back of watching the TV programme, it was interesting to read the history and the house is well worth a visit.
