Grantville Depots The Grantville passenger depot stands alongside the former Atlanta & West Point Railroad, now the Atlanta-Montgomery line of CSX. It currently houses the Coweta County Genealogical Society and Historical Research Center. Diagonally across the tracks is a separate freight depot built in 1852. Originally used for both passengers and freight, it was converted to freight-only when the newer building opened. It is currently a community meeting facility.
