Geocache Description:

This is a small cammo altoids-type tin. Hidden somewhere in this wonderful hands-on exhibit. No climbing or crawling required for this “quick” grab. This area has the potential to have a lot of visitors, be VERY discreet. Please re-hid in the same place as found!

The L&N Depot Museum “The first depot was built on this site in 1905 when the Louisville & Nashville Railroad Line came to Foley. The railroad was once known as the Bay Minette and Fort Morgan Railroad. At that time, logging was an important industry in this area and the railroad was built to help move the timber out of the area. The first depot that was built in 1905 burned to the ground in 1908. It was rebuilt and served as the center of activity for the community for many years. In 1971, word was received that L & N was going to discontinue service to Foley and would destroy the building. John Snook, owner of Gulf Telephone Company bought the building for $1.00. He cut the depot and the freight area into two parts and moved them to Magnolia Springs. There it stayed for approximately twenty-four years and served as storage for Gulf Telephone. In the early nineties, Mr. Snook deeded the depot back to the city of Foley. In 1995, it was returned to the original site and renovations were begun to make the depot into a museum for the city.” I work in the area and am able to maintain this cache.
