History
The Gray Gables railroad station building at the Aptucxet Trading Post Museum
The station was first built by the Old Colony Railroad around 1892 as a stop for President Grover Cleveland's nearby summer home of Gray Gables.[1][2] It was located on the Monument Neck Road in Bourne.[1] The station was moved to the site of the Aptucxet Trading Post Museum in Bourne in 1977, and was renovated and moved closer to Aptuxet Road in 2013.[3]
