History
editRail service to Collinwood began in December 1913 with the station building opening in 1916.[3] It was a station of the Tennessee Western Railroad,[4] which would later be incorporated into the Louisville and Nashville Railroad.
The railroad line did not survive the Great Depression and the former Tennessee Western tracks were removed by the L&N between 1940 and 1941.
By 1947, the station building was being used as a private residence,[5] a warehouse, and a grist mill. In 1965 it served as the new location for Collinwood City Hall.
By 1980 it had become a senior citizens center. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.[1]
On September 4, 2001, it became a library and museum.
