Cowan Railroad Museum is an official Tennessee State Railroad Museum.  The museum is housed in the Cowan Depot, a local landmark that is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Important safety reminders:  the railroad through Cowan is an active freight mainline!  Please keep a safe distance from the track!  We discourage visitors from staging photography on the tracks.  When crossing the tracks to and from the museum, please do so only at the signaled crossing on Cumberland Street (US Highway 41A).
