This train station was built in 1902, when the Queen Anne's County Railroad Company extended its western terminus 13 miles to the northwest, from Queenstown to Love Point. A connection was then made with steamboats for transport across the Chesapeake Bay.


Passengers, seafood & produce were the main cargos from Kent Island to Baltimore. The return trip, through depots like this, brought clothing, iron products, newspapers, & the US Mail to the Eastern Shore. This rail system ran more than 60 miles, from Kent Island to Lewes, Delaware.


This structure was moved in 1988 from its origianl location at the north end of Stevensville to its present location & was restored by the KI Heritage Society.
