St. Michael’s Train Station
Talbot County – Maryland
This is one of those stations that I have found only a little on. The station at last check was being renovated, and I believe the station was build around 1893, and was found along Railroad Avenue for years.
Oddly, I never found an article for the station’s grand opening, although I looked.
In 1900 , William Jennings Bryan stopped at the station along his unsuccessful campaign bid to be President of the United States, taking a train tour of the Eastern Shore, that began in Claiborne, and stopped in Hurlock and Vienna, ending up in Salisbury Maryland to a crowd of over 9,000 people.
In 2019, there was talk of moving the station to a City Park. I’m not sure how that plan worked out, but I’ll check soon.
