Holly Springs Depot The 1914 Holly Springs depot served as City Hall for a time after L&N vacated it. Rehabbed in 1999 as the town's community center, the building continues to be a gathering place. The tracks are still active, serving trains of the shortline Georgia Northeastern Railroad. Holly Springs is a city of 4,000 in Cherokee County north of Atlanta.
