See Clayton County, Georgia: Culture, Flavor, and Fun Just South of Atlanta

Happy National Rock 'n' Roll Day! 🎸 Before this group became Southern rock legends, this iconic album cover was photographed right here in Clayton County, GA. The cover of *Pronounced 'Lĕh-'nérd 'Skin-'nérd* by Lynyrd Skynyrd (@skynyrd)was captured in front of the Historic Train Depot in Jonesboro, and if you look closely, you can spot the depot standing behind the band. Today, music fans from around the world visit this very spot to recreate the legendary album cover for themselves. The 1867 Train Depot is now home to the Clayton County Visitors Center, the Road To Tara Museum, and the Hattie McDaniel Legacy Experience. While you're here, be sure to stop by the display beside the depot, where you'll find a copy of the iconic album cover along with an autographed photo of the original band members. Whether you're a lifelong Lynyrd Skynyrd fan or simply love discovering places with unique stories, this is one of Clayton County's most recognizable music landmarks.
