If you are a railroad buff and have never stopped by, you should. Dane Malcolm, a retired airline pilot has set up a wonderful museum in the restored depot. He has a wealth of information of the railroad and town history. There are vintage and modern railroad photographs for sale that are pertinent to the area.
Tomorrow, Dane discusses the history of the railroad in Contoocook.

A great 'find' Steve, I can't wait to hear more of the history. FAB
No website? No advertisement? That's odd. In all my years as a NH native I've never been to Contoocook. Heck I can't even SAY it and I've got a pretty good New England accent as you know.
Outstanding post Steve. You should have been a photo journalist.
Sharon, I know the feeling. We don't always know what's in our back yards.
As far as saying Contoocook, that is right up there with Piscataqua.
Piscatiqua comes pretty easy to me, but Contoocook is a little different. Good to hear a native give the correct pronunciation!
So how do you say 'Kancamagus' as in the Kancamogus highway? We just call it 'The Kank'! LOL!
This looks wonderful Steve. It reminds me of a little depot in Adams Center NY that they turned into a restaurant, and the train still passes by.
