Vintage Photos of the Historic Jackson Train Depot: 1890-1920
We have written about the historic Jackson train depot many, many times...so this time, I thought the focus should be on some vintage photos of the station.
Sometimes, history is right under your nose. So obviously, that the historic value is forgotten and stored away in subconscious memory banks, or maybe some of us get so used to it, we just don't realize what we have so close by.
America's oldest, still-running train depot is right here in Jackson, Michigan, in operation since 1841, rebuilt in 1872 and restored in 1978.
If you would like to read our latest article on the station, you can check it out HERE, that includes many interior photos. Also, scroll down a bit to find a gallery with a baker’s dozen images, showing how the train station and its surrounding area looked over 100 years ago, from the 1890s to 1920!
