Welcome
The Sequatchie Valley Railway Village is an interactive railway park for everyone to visit, from students to railroad enthusiasts and beyond. The Village, built in Bledsoe County’s Pikeville, Tennessee, will have a railroad depot/museum with side tracks and railcars to tell the story of the railroad that supported the Valley’s mining industry of the 1800s and 1900s.
About us
The Sequatchie Valley Railway Village is a soon-to-be depot/museum and railway park located in Bledsoe County, which is one of nine economically distressed Tennessee counties, as designated by the Appalachian Commission Region. It has also been designated as an IRS 501(c)(3) Non-profit organization.
History
The first train rolled into Pikeville on the evening of June 30, 1891. By 1921, the Sequatchie Valley Branch was offering service all the way into Chattanooga over the lines of its parent, the NC&StL, the junction with these being at Bridgeport, Alabama.
