Lincoln Depot Museum [Historic Site], Corner of Fiske & Lake Streets, Lincoln, MI 48742, Phone: (989) 736-6754. The Lincoln Depot, the last remaining depot of its kind in northeastern Michigan. Lonely reminder of Michigan's former dependence on the railroads that snaked up and down the state. 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. Has been a private residence since about 1930 and is now owned by the Lincoln downtown Development Authority. 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 would broaden the range of historical attractions available in the local area. Open from June 29th thru Septemeber 3rd. Hours: Thursdays 11 am to 1 pm, Fridays Noon to 2:00 pm, Sundays 1 pm to 3 pm.
