Friends of the L&N Depot

After approval by the Depot Development Authority and Operation Pride, the Historic Railroad Committee (now called the Friends of the L&N Depot), an all-volunteer, non-profit group was formed for purpose of acquiring authentic, historic railroad cars for display at the Bowling Green Louisville and Nashville Depot. The goal of the Friends of the L&N Depot is to provide a venue for tourism and local interest and for educational development, within a historic facility.

The "Friends" meet the last Saturday of each month at 8:30am for coffee and donuts at the Depot, 401 Kentucky Street. (location varies depending on events). For more information, call 270-745-7317. Non-members welcome!
