The Casey Jones Home and Railroad Museum displays exhibits dedicated to the life of Casey Jones, a Jackson, Tennessee railroader. The museum, which sits next to the historic house that Casey called home, houses three authentic rail cars, including the original engine model that Casey drove. Kids get a kick out of climbing aboard to ring the train bell, just like a conductor.

The museum features a short film about Casey Jones’s life. A special exhibit named, The Railroads & the Civil War in Tennessee, is also on display. The Village, as it’s called by locals, has specialty shops, a diner, an ice cream parlor, a bakery, a mini golf course, and more.
