Smyrna History Museum
Housed in a beautiful replica of an early 20th-century locomotive depot, the Smyrna History Museum showcases the "Jonquil City’s" growth from a small railroad stop into a bustling suburban hub. Inside, scouts can explore interactive historical timelines, vintage photographs, and a vast collection of local artifacts mapping out native history, the Civil War, and early local industries.
