Wolfville Station

Windsor & Annapolis Railway Wood Station 18?? - 1891

The following information was forwarded to the DARDPI by Heather Watts of the Wolfville Historical Society:

Tom Sheppard says in Historic Wolfville, "Wolfville was the headquarters for the railway at first, and engines built in England landed at the town. Disagreements with landowners forced the move of the headquarters to Kentville." Our own Mud Creek says that the first station agent was Samuel Prat. By 1888, Mumford was agent.
