The third annual Leeds History Walk this year will be featuring "Leeds in the 1960s" and for which we have been asked to staff the Depot as we have done in the past by greeting people, talking to them about trains and railroads, explaining the Agent's Office and the work of the Depot, and generally answering their questions.

Publicity and directions during the event will send attendees to the Depot better than has been done in the past. As in the past, the MSC Board members have been invaluable helping at the Depot and providing interpretive information to the attendees. I hope you can do that again this year.

UPDATE:

Celebrating the City of Leeds in the Iconic 1960s

Step Back in Time: Experience 1960s Leeds as part of the Historic Walking Tour through downtown Leeds, Alabama.
April 11, 2026, from 10:00 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. [Rain date April 25]

Walk along Main Street as if it were 1960, enjoy the activities along and nearby Main Street, visit the train depot and think about how it was in the 1960s when passengers could board the train in Leeds and ride from Leeds to Birmingham, Atlanta, and beyond.

As part of the events in downtown Leeds, the Historic Leeds Depot will be open, and volunteers from the Mid-South Chapter of the R&LHS will be at the depot explaining train travel and depot operations. Come to the Depot and be part of railroad history, OR just come and enjoy the Depot and view the Birmingham Terminal Station exhibit in the Depot.
