Forsyth The 1899 Central of Georgia Railway depot at Forsyth, now a local history museum, was designed by Bruce & Morgan of Atlanta. The building once had a porte-cochère in front, as can be seen in this old photo. The trackside of the depot is marked by a massive tower with a pyramidal roof. The top of the tower can be seen in this view. Some of the exhibits in the museum. Standing nearby is an older depot, one of the oldest in Georgia. Built sometime around 1850 for the Macon & Western Railroad, it served the community before the 1899 depot replaced it. The rugged stone structure was rehabilitated in 2004-05. An old fire truck and steam engine are among the outdoor exhibits. Forsyth, in middle Georgia, is a city of 4,000 people. It is the county seat of Monroe County.   Georgia's Railroad History & Heritage. Copyright, Steve Storey.
