Dalton Freight Depot Visitor Center

The Dalton Freight Depot, originally built as the Southern Railway Freight Depot in 1911, was restored by the city in 2009 and today houses the Dalton Visitor's Center and Gift Shop. Inside, the Bandy Heritage Museum explores Dalton's textile legacy. 

 Watch the dual tracks of the CSX and Norfolk Southern Railroads pass the "Dalton Diamond," a 45-degree rail crossing directly in front of the viewing platform. Adjacent to the depot is the 1949 Southern "Crescent City" Pullman car. 

This is the place to start your visit to Dalton. It is open daily from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and is Closed on Sundays.
