The L&N depot at Guntersville, Alabama was originally built by the NC&StL Railway in 1892. The depot has been restored and now houses a museum, the Guntersville Railroad Depot Museum.
Restoration of the depot began in 1996 after the Guntersville Historical Society received a grant from the Alabama Historical Commission for funding of the project. The Guntersville train depot was opened and dedicated as a historical building in December of 2000.
The renovated depot features a miniature train display, plus memorabilia from years past, offering a look into what the railroad business was like near the end of the 19th century and beginning of the 20th.
