Historically it was suggested that the Station building(barn) had been constructed in the early 1850’s. We have now been shown a postcard that shows the building in place and operating as an Erie Railroad Station date noted as 1851. And since the structure was reported as first being a barn in a different location in town closer to the Delaware River, it would seem that it must have been constructed sometime in the 1840’s. If anyone finds a picture with the barn in its original location, we would greatly like to have it.
As noted earlier, we have a limited number of Cochecton Papers I and II reprinted and are for sale for $20.00 each. If you would like one mailed, please add $5.00. We also still have some “All Aboard” CD’s and yes tapes available. CD’s are $10.00 + $7.00 shipping. Music performed by Mickey Barnett.
>We also have available for sale a photo book, “Reflections” of beautiful pictures taken by the Late Mary Ann White of scenes from the area along with her reflections noted. These books can be purchased for $10.00 each and as with the Cochecton Papers, if you would like it mailed please included $5.00 for shipping. A picture of the cover can be seen in our Gallery section of this site.
