Fort Payne, AL


Last week took my to the CVS in Decatur, AL. My route there was via Rome, GA and the mountains of NE Georgia.
Located near the border of AL & GA is Fort Payne AL a very historic mountain town.
This is a picture of the train depot in Fort Payne which now house the county museum and is an excellent example of Richardsonian Romanesque architecture with its turrets, arched windows and heavy stone facade. Artifacts from many Indian tribes, 1800–1900 farm equipment, photographs, artwork, historical items, caboose with railroad memorabilia and dioramas are just part of it's charm.
