THE GUILFORD PRESERVATION ALLIANCE, in cooperation with the Connecticut Department of Transportation, is pleased to announce that a permanent exhibit of historical photos, “Railroads in Guilford” will be mounted this Friday, February 28th in the south pavilion of the Guilford train station.
The photos, depicting 19th and 20th- century views of the old railroad station, feature everything from Civil War veterans waiting on the platform to depart to Niantic in 1899, to the Merchants Limited en route to Boston powering through the station in 1969. The exhibit is part of an ongoing effort made by the Guilford Preservation Alliance to study and save the surviving buildings.
The exhibit is free and open to the public.
The Guilford Courier issue for February 27, 2014 features an interview with Harry Haskell, Person of the Week, where he discusses the train station project in great detail.
Below are photos taken by Ellen Ebert the day of the photo installation, February 28, 2014.
