Historic Dalton Depot

Welcome to the Historic Dalton Depot & Trackside Cafe, a nationally registered historic landmark and one of the few Victorian-era train stations that survived Sherman's infamous "March to the Sea" during the Civil War. The Depot that witnessed the "Great Train Race" of 1862 has seen almost all downtown development.

Experience dining in this pre-Civil War depot, one of the few remaining after Sherman's march. Imagine yourself a bystander watching "The General" race by in the Great Locomotive Train Chase. For those who like to party or just enjoy friendly folk and good conversation, the Side Track Cafe is open later with live entertainment. Open 7 days week for lunch and dinner..
