Lincoln Train Depot [Historic Site], Corner of Fiske & Lake Streets, Lincoln, MI 48742, Phone: (989) 727-4080. The Lincoln Depot, the last remaining depot of its kind in northeastern Michigan. A lonely reminder of Michigan's former dependence on the railroads that snaked up and down the state. The wood structure has been standing since the 1880's. Lincoln Train Depot (originally called the West Harrisville Depot) was built in 1886 by the Detroit, Bay City and Alpena Railroad. The Depot is located on Lake Street in Lincoln and served the community and the surrounding area until 1929. First rail service to this area passed through Lincoln from the south and continued north through Ossineke to Alpena. In December of 1998, the Lincoln Depot was officially recognized as a Michigan Historic Site. January 6, 1999, the Friends of Lincoln Depot became affiliated with the Alcona Historical Society. The building is structurally sound, and its restoration and use as a museum and historical site broadens the range of historical attractions available in the local area.
Open 1st Monday of July – September, Monday through Firiday 1-4 pm, closed Saturday and Sunday.
