Former Kedgwick Railway Station

The Kedgwick Railway Station Provincial Historic Site, built in 1919-20 from standard plans supplied by Canadian National’s engineering department, is designated as a good example of railway station architecture in rural New Brunswick. Of equal significance, this railway station symbolizes the rapid development of the northern part of the province in the early part of the 20th century, as rail opened up the country’s markets to the region’s agricultural and forestry resources. The station also symbolizes the importance of the arrival of the railway related to the development of the tourist industry, particularly with respect to hunting and fishing, in the early part of the 20th century.
