Tri-State Model Railroaders invite you to visit and see our fantastic museum quality HO Scale Model Railroad depicting the L&N railroad as it ran from Atlanta Ga to Etowah TN including the Branch line from Blue Ridge and Mineral Bluff GA to Murphy NC in this Tri-State region, circa 1950.

Volunteers will be on hand to answer questions, and you may even get a chance to operate a train while visiting… just ask. If you are in the North Georgia Mountains, we are only 10 minutes from Blue Ridge.
Come by and spend some time with us in Mineral Bluff, Georgia! Although we have free parking and no admission fee, donations are welcome and greatly appreciated.
