Cornelia Cornelia's 1914 Southern Railway depot, closed by the railroad in the late 1960s, is now a museum. It was recently rehabilitated; work included adding a red tile roof similar to the original. Cornelia is a city of 3,725 in Habersham County in north Georgia. An old postcard shows the depot in the steam train era. The depot before its recent rehabilitation.   Georgia's Railroad History & Heritage. Copyright, Steve Storey.
