Getting Around

Our train station is also an important historic landmark. The Grand Trunk Railway depot was constructed in the summer of 1907, and was the third station on the line at St. Marys. It was built of a glazed brick of brownish tint known as Logan Brick. Originally the depot contained a main waiting room with a ticket and operating room at the rear, men's and women's toilets, a ladies' retiring room, a smoking room for men and an express department located at the north end. It now is also used as an art gallery for local artist and artisans.
