At its heart is the Hall of Honor, dedicated to the Civil War veterans who founded Fitzgerald. The museum also highlights local people from later generations, including General Raymond Gilbert Davis, identified as the nation’s most highly decorated Marine. Reflecting its depot setting, it presents Fitzgerald’s history through the experiences of the people who built the town and the events that shaped its development.
