The Cowpens railroad depot was built in the 1870s for the Southern Railway. Local citizens saved the depot from destruction, and moved it to its current location to serve as a community center and museum. An excellent example of a medium-sized depot from the golden age of American railroads, it was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1997.

The museum also houses itmes donated by crewmen and local citizens emphasizing the naval history of several U.S. Navy warhsips named for the Battle of Cowpens in the American Revolution.

Displayed items include clothing, photos, medals, and personal letters of former USS Cowpens crewmen.
