This was actually open, a unexpected surprise, so we did the tour. As so many of these places, it depends on volunteers, and the ones we met certainly made for a welcome and pleasant visit. We saw a few items we had never seen before, and some that are unique to Brooksville's history.

Happy we saw it but I would not go out of my way for this attraction. Cool history and building though.

We drove by the Depot and were surprised that it wasn't open for touring. It is being refurbished so that may be why it's closed. There is ample parking if you choose to walk around the building. It appears to heav been moved to a different location for the re-hab work as the tracks are farther away. I'll have to consider another visit at a much later time. Still, we were glad to have seen the facility.

We visited on free museum day, so we did not get the full guided tour experience due to the volume of visitors. The museum is small but has a lot packed in, and the docents were friendly and engaging. I think I need to go back on a slower day and get the full tour to get a better sense of the place, and I think this will result in some fun conversation. Worth a visit to get a sense of local history.

This is a great little museum with interesting exhibits relevant to the local area. Our tour guide was pleasant and informative. We unfortunately visited in the middle of July and most of this museum is either not air-conditioned or the air conditioning was inoperable at the time. The older members of our group could not enjoy themselves due to the heat in the buildings despite the few fans. I would definitely recommend visiting during pleasant weather. Please also be advised that they only accept cash for admission and purchases made in the gift area.

This place has really improved over the years. There is now a much more active bike trailhead here and it is much more welcoming. They do a good job keeping the place up and it’s full of local Brooksville history. Definitely worth an hour or two visit.

I just happened to be in the area for the Brooksville Blueberry Festival. When I heard about this museum, I knew I had to stop by before I left. When I saw how much was on the inside of the depot, I decided to take the tour. I was glad I did! There was so much to see, and so much history to be told. There is a restored rail car that you can only see on the tour. Inside the depot are many items from another era. From moonshine stills to an old firetruck, there is so much to see. My tour guide was great, and she was very knowledgeable about local history. I found out a lot about Brooksville and the surrounding area. I liked that not only the good was told, but the dark side of Brooksville's history as well.

The museum hours are 12-3. The cost is 5.00 per adult. The tour was very interesting and we sure learned a lot about the train station and surroundings in Brooksville. Our tour guide was very historically educated. Many interesting things to look at. But no working train:(.....to ride.
