Swampy’s Florida Friday Train Stops: Hawthorne Railroad Station, 1912.
Swampy’s Florida Friday Train Stops: Hawthorne Railroad Station, 1912.
The small city of Hawthorne, in eastern Alachua County once had a train stop coming north from Ocala.
Hawthrone was once an up and coming city. It’s still there along US301 and County road 20. The Downtown area sports a hardware store, a historic museum and other shops.
Diane’s Restaurant is a popular spot on 301. It was one of the early Sonny’s Bar-BQ spots. Diane is an ex-wife of, owner, Sonny Tillman.
For some reason I failed to note the source of this photograph I first posted back in 2014. I’ve got so many books of Alachua County and Florida railroads, it’s hard to tell.
