The Sparta Train Station was used in several scenes from the movie and is now a museum about the movie. In one scene, Warren Oates as Sam Wood goes looking for hitchhikers that might have killed the man found dead. In another scene here, Sidney Poitier as Virgil Tibbs arrives by train at the beginning of the movie. Oates arrests Poitier here. One of the most famous scenes from the movie is when Rod Steiger as Gillespie goes to the train station to ask Sidney Poitier as Virgil Tibbs to stay on to investigate the murder.
