HISTORIC DEPOT DISTRICT

Located in the Downtown Smyrna District, the Train Depot has become a focal point in the Front Street area. New sidewalks (including memorial bricks), benches and indoor restrooms have provided new life for the old train depot.

A combined freight and passenger house, the Smyrna Railroad Depot was erected in 1851, and replaced in 1873. It was a direct result of the charter granted by the State of Tennessee on December 11, 1845, to the Nashville and Chattanooga Railroad to connect this area with the seaports of Charleston and New Orleans. The depot is the brick, rectangular-shaped structure that lies due west, just across the tracks.

The Smyrna Train Depot is available to rent for your special occasions including charity events, political events, street fairs, parties, reunions weddings/receptions, showers and family gatherings.
