Did you know the Archer Train Depot was an important train stop in Florida railroad history? If you love trains, come meet Jonny Nelson for a family friendly look at the railroad in Archer's past.

Come enjoy seeing the model train exhibit from the collection of the Archer Historical Society and talk trains with Jonny Nelson, one of their members. He graduated from the University of Florida with a Degree in History, loves trains, and loves talking to fellow railroad fans. He'll bring a sample of his model trains to show, too!
