THE
NORTH PEMBERTON RAILROAD STATION MUSEUM/GIFT SHOP(No longer
open)
The
Railroad Station Museum was filled with many historical artifacts
related to the railroad, the cranberry and blueberry industry,
and regional history. All artifacts were donated by dedicated
volunteers and local historians who make it possible for everyone
to appreciate these fine relics. The hands that touched these
artifacts were the hands that built this country and made
it the great nation that it is today.
The
Railroad Station is now owned and maintained by the County
of Burlington, presumably by its Dept. of Recreation. No other
information is available at this time.
