The museum, located at the intersection of State Routes 19 and 108 in Lawrence County, is a collection of transportation paraphernalia so immense that it is enough to, well, stop traffic. Patricia and Don Barnes, the proud proprietors of Harlansburg Station, opened the doors on their 12th operational season last month. And what began decades ago as Don s hobby of collecting transportation memorabilia transformed into an eclectic accumulation of pieces so rare and interesting, it seemed only logical to the pair that they open a museum. Rather than landing a club car for use as a waiting area for dining patrons at the restaurant, the Barnes opted to buy the adjacent lot and build a museum housing their assortment of land, sea and air relics, which includes photos and artworks too. Don is a retired commercial airline pilot who started picking up aeronautic collectibles when his career was just beginning.
