Located in the old L & N Railroad Depot, Foley's Museum Archives was built in 1905 by Mr. John B. Foley of Chicago used his own money to bring the railroad to the southern part of Baldwin County. The first depot burned to the ground but second station took its place in 1908.

The depot and the railroad became the center of activity for the growing town of Foley. During shipping season, thousands of boxcars would pull out of Foley loaded with potatoes, corn, gladiolas, and many other types of produce that was grown in the area.

In 1971, the L & N Railroad discontinued their services to Foley and the whole building was moved Foley Train Museum Imageto Magnolia Springs where it sat as a warehouse for a telephone company.  In 1995, the depot was returned to Foley and placed back in its original location.

The City has since turned the depot into a museum that you can visit for free Monday through Friday.
