About
The Matteawan Train Station marker stands at the corner of Main St and Churchill St at the east end of Beacon's Main Street, on the City of Beacon Greenway Trail.
The Station
The marker recalls the depot the Dutchess and Columbia Railroad built here in 1869, on its line from Dutchess Junction to Hopewell Junction, Millbrook and beyond. Matteawan was one of the two villages that merged to form the City of Beacon.
Nearby
The marker is a few steps from the Welcome to Beacon sign and close to other historical markers, including the Howland Center, making it an easy stop on an East End walk.
