The Amqui Tennessee Passenger Station and Signal Tower was built by the Louisville & Nashville Railroad in 1910. Typical of southern station designs found in the region, it had deeply over-hanging eaves supported by triangular knee braces, had an agent-operator’s office and baggage room, engine room, battery room, second-story signal operator’s room, and passenger waiting rooms. Johnny Cash often visited the signalmen at Amqui Station during the 1970s. He acquired the old train station in 1979, saving it from demolition. The train station was moved twice before being placedi in its current site.
Today, the station has been restored for use as a museum and educational center. A visitor’s center and pavilion have also been added for special programs and events, such as a weekly farmers market from May through September, Madison Monster Market, Holiday Makers Market, Women’s History Month event, Tennessee Maneuvers Reenactment, Veterans Remembrance Day and Living Encampment.
