Review:
The 1885 Russell Street Train Depot preserves Florida's rich railroading history, housed within Brooksville's historic train depot since 1991. The nonprofit museum, which is overseen by the Hernando Historical Museum Association, showcases the history of companies such as the Florida Southern Railroad and the Atlantic Coast Line, which operated throughout the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Museum visitors can explore the depot's freight room, which houses artifacts related to the state's early railroading and technology industries, including historic telegraph machines, freight scales, and 19th-century tools. A utility train car from the 1880s may be toured, along with a replica cracker house and cobbler's shop. Two model train exhibits are offered for young visitors, along with a display area for family photos within a restored 1925 fire engine.
