The Depot Welcome Center

Located in the heart of historic downtown Cartersville, The Depot is a beautifully restored 1854 train depot that stands as a proud symbol of resilience and history. Having withstood the Civil War, devastating fires, and the tides of modern progress, this iconic building has been thoughtfully reimagined as a vibrant welcome center for visitors and locals alike. Inside, you'll find By Bartow, a dedicated space celebrating the creativity and spirit of Bartow County. This special initiative highlights the work of local makers, artists, and entrepreneurs, offering them a platform to share their talents and stories with the community. Whether you're exploring our rich history or discovering handcrafted treasures, The Depot is where the past meets the present in the most inspiring way.
