Albany Railroad Depot Historic District (also known as Heritage Plaza) is located at the 100 block of West Roosevelt Avenue in Albany, Georgia, United States, and is governed by the Thronateeska Heritage Center, a 501(c)3 not-for-profit organization incorporated in 1974 for the purpose of historic preservation and science education in Southwest Georgia.

[3] An unnamed service by the Central of Georgia operated through the station, from Atlanta, making a layover in Albany, and continuing to the Gulf Coast resort of Panama City, Florida.

In 1974, concerned and community-spirited citizens championed the cause for revitalization of the historic downtown railroad depot area.

Through Thronateeska's efforts, the 1913 Union Station depot, located in what is now known as Heritage Plaza, was preserved as a legendary landmark, converted into a museum, and listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975.

A new Wetherbee Planetarium and Science Museum was constructed between the Railway Express Agency building and the Fryer-Merritt House in 2008.
