The mission of the Fort Payne Depot Museum is summarized as: to collect, preserve and, through exhibits, educate the public about the history of the DeKalb County area. The museum staff and the Board of Directors understand the mission of the Museum, and there does not appear to be pressure to expand the scope of the collections to areas outside of the stated mission. The collections do, for the most part, support the mission. The collections fall into three broad categories: local history artifacts, including the railroad caboose, Native American artifacts, and special-interest collections.

In 1971, Curren and Margaret Farmer incorporated their passion for knowledge and history into the most extensive collection of early American artifacts in the state of Alabama. When they founded the Pioneer Museum of Alabama, they sparked a fire that would burn fiercely for decades to come. It is our understanding that in order to fully appreciate the convenience and ease with which we live our lives today, one must learn about the lives and tools of the early settlers of the Alabama Territory. The Pioneer Museum of Alabama has dedicated itself to preserving these priceless windows of the past. They are essential to the educational experience museum patrons benefit from.
