Amqui Station and Visitors Center

Comment on Facebook

In 1910 L & N built Amqui Station and Madison continued to grow around a switching train depot that changed the landscape of the community. At its height, Amqui Station served as many as 40 to 50 trains daily. But with the need for modernization of the switching and signaling railway system, L & N vacated Amqui in the second half of the 20th century.

Because of his great love of trains, country music superstar Johnny Cash purchased the old train depot in 1979, saving it from demolition. He moved Amqui Station to his property in Hendersonville, a suburb northeast of Madison, and restored it to display his collection of train memorabilia.

Over the years, Amqui Station served not only as a mini-museum adjacent to the House of Cash, but also as an antique shop for June Carter Cash’s vintage treasures collected during her international travels.

Upon Cash’s death in 2003, Halo Properties purchased Amqui Station and donated it back to Madison. It returned home in June 2006 to be revitalized as a museum and education center.
