All aboard! The Chuckey Depot Museum and the Jonesborough Senior Center are bringing music, tales, and railroad history to Jonesborough’s newest park on Saturday, September 9th. Several musical groups are coming together to share music and stories at Lincoln Park. Acts include the Jonesborough Golden Heirs Choir, Jonesborough Senior Center, and area soloists. The concert is directed by Cherry Smith.
The concert begins at 4:00 pm that afternoon and will last ninety minutes. The concert is free, but donations are encouraged. All donations go to the educational programs and exhibits at the Chuckey Depot Museum. The museum is located on Second Avenue in a historic Southern Railroad depot that was moved from Chuckey, TN, to save it from demolition. Today, the museum shares the history of the Chuckey community as well as the history of the Railroad in the region. The museum is free of charge so all donations to help with changing exhibits and programming is appreciated.
Seating will be provided in the amphitheater courtesy of the Town of Jonesborough, but you are also welcome to bring your own. Audience seating is not covered. Concessions will be provided by Paws in Blue. We hope you will join us on September 9th as we celebrate the Chuckey Depot Museum and the rich, Railroad history of East Tennessee.
You can visit the Chuckey Depot Museum in person on Thursday, Friday, and Sunday from 1:00 pm – 5:00 pm and Saturday from 11:00 am – 4:00 pm.
