Railroad service to Fort Fairfield was key to the development of the town and especially its potato industry. A predecessor of the Canadian Pacific Railroad was the first to provide service to the town in 1875. The Bangor and Aroostook Railroad arrived twenty years later. The former CP station was moved from its riverbank site to the B&A depot area and now serves as another Frontier Heritage museum facility, containing many railroad and associated artifacts.

Nearby, there are five retired railroad cars and a diesel engine, the former B&A brick station building, and the relocated Black/McIntosh one-room schoolhouse.  

This site will be open for visiting between 9:00 a.m. and 12:00 p.m.

It is located southwest of the intersection of Brown and Depot Streets. Another wonderful Frontier Heritage volunteer will serve as docent at this facility especially for us. Matt Sawyer works as a professional railroad engineer and he is intimately knowledgeable of all of the artifacts in this museum, having been involved in inventorying every item. Be prepared for an amazingly thorough and interesting discussion of railroading in Fort Fairfield.
