Celebrating the city’s history ought to be held in an historic setting, and Leeds’ 125-year-old railroad depot definitely fits the requirements.
Many of the event festivals will be held there, including an open house sponsored by the city’s historical society and the Mid South Chapter of the Locomotive Historical Society.
There will be a lecture by a noted University of Georgia professor and folklorist, and a play, “Listen to That Cold Steel Ring,” will tie Leeds’ roots to the early railway system.
