News: Tweetsie Railroad fire destroys shops, museum

Posted Monday, March 17th, 2008 at 12:14 pm by Wes

The Depot building at Tweetsie Railroad caught fire early Sunday morning.  The fire, which was ruled accidental, might have been started by a lightning strike.

The Depot was destroyed along with a souvenir shop, a food stand and a first aid station.  Most importantly though, the museum was gutted and along with it so many pieces of history from the Blowing Rock, NC park that has entertained families for over 50 years.

For more information and a video about the incident visit WBTV.
