Crossville Depot back open under city operation with remodeled meeting space.

The Crossville Depot is back open for business after the City of Crossville has taken over the operation of the historic building that opened in 1926.  The building houses a gift shop and meeting space and includes a small museum and caboose.

The large meeting space that makes up most of the building has been remodeled and now features hardwood floors.  For rental information and rates, contact the Depot or Crossville city hall.
