The Misselhorn Art Gallery is located at 611 West Second Street in the depot. Their logo also adorns the caboose. An interesting tidbit is that the depot and town were the location of the filming of the movie "In the Heat of the Night" back in 1966. It was a winner of five Academy Awards in 1967. See nearby waymarks.
