With a nice collection and presentation of railroad memorabilia, the train museum inside the old Folkston Depot is a great place to visit, and it’s free, though donations are accepted. Here you can pick up the informative booklet, “Folkston Then and Now”, which details area historic sites. From here it’s just a short walk down the tracks to the Folkston Funnel Train Viewing Platform, which draws thousands of railfans each year. About 65 trains come through the town each day.
