A hidden gem of Jackson Tennessee that showcases the house of a hardworking train engineer who died in 1900 while heroically saving everyone else but himself. We had't heard of Casey Jones until today when we were looking for a nearby attraction close to our hotel. The Museum had the perfect set up for all. Great for families with small children as you can spend as little as half an hour seeing the trains, museum, and house. But there is plenty of history to keep adults entertained for much longer. It is a quant museum that is dedicated to preserving an incredible heroic story that easily could have been forgotten by time.

Coming here was the high point of a trip we had to make to Jackson from SW Arkansas. After a very long drive, we were thrilled to make it to the restaurant. The food was AMAZING!!!! We left, snapped a pic on the way to the Museum and walked in a couple minutes before 4 and the nice lady said the museum was closed. Super bummed. All four of us were excited. My error, I didn't think about it closing so early. Headed six hours home. Would definitely come back to have dinner again if passing through.
We enjoyed the film and the museum. It was interesting to go to his home too. We’ve been traveling in our RV and looked forward to eating in a restaurant. Unfortunately, there was NO social distancing. Many of the patrons did not wear masks when they were up from their table. The gentleman refilling the food at the buffet was working hard and I realize it was hot and hard work, but his mask was not covering his face. My husband enjoyed all of the food. I liked the meat loaf and the salad and the red pepper soup was amazing!
Really nice people and place. Plan to return with more family next time.
Nice place to visit if you have an hour to spare. It’s ok, with a film to start & self guided museum & house tour. With no docent or guide to tell you more about the house & Mr. Jones, it was kind of lame. There is also a wall regarding the Civil War - not fascinated with that at all. No connection to Casey Jones life.
