The Hoschton Train Depot is likely the most important feature in the town, built on land donated by the four Hosch brothers who helped settle the town in the 19th century. This train depot was erected in 1833 to influence the Gainesville, Jefferson, and Southern Railroad to pass their rail lines through the newly founded town, ensuring years of prosperity and growth. Train services on the railway ended in 1947, but the depot was a crucial part of the community for decades.
