In This Place: Brookhaven, Mississippi - Part Four
It was late afternoon in Brookhaven, and this shady bench in front of the barber shop looked inviting. If you sit here facing the tracks, soon the whistle of an approaching freight train will sound. The railroad was once central to the life of this town, but the freights now pass through without stopping, while cars and trucks stream by endlessly on Interstate 55.
Information about the history of Brookhaven came from an article on the Brookhaven Chamber of Commerce website written by Henry Ware Hobbs. The history of the Brookhaven Railway Depot is detailed at Great American Stations. To learn more about the travels of the Liberty Bell, visit the Liberty Bell Museum
