About Oakfield Railroad Museum
Step inside a restored 1911 Bangor and Aroostook Railroad station at the end of Station Street, where the Oakfield Railroad Museum — run by the Oakfield Historical Society — keeps alive the memory of this small Maine town's days as a railroad center. The wood-frame depot, shifted a hundred yards in 1941 and listed on the National Register in 1987, still holds its original pressed-tin wall paneling in two of its three rooms.

History
See full history
Oakfield Station was built in 1911 by the Bangor and Aroostook Railroad and stands as a major reminder of the era when Oakfield was an important railroad center. The single-story, wood-frame depot — nine bays long and a single room deep, with a gable-on-hip roof, half-round gable windows, and exposed rafters — served as a passenger station for half a century, and in 1941 was moved about 100 yards from its original location to accommodate changes to a local grade crossing. Passenger rail service on the line was discontinued in 1961. In 1986 the building was given to the Oakfield Historical Society, which restored and adapted it for use as the Oakfield Railroad Museum; two of its three rooms still retain their original pressed-tin wall paneling. The station was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on June 25, 1987.
