The establishment of the St. Lawrence & Atlantic Railroad, (which was later re-named the Grand Trunk Railway) in 1851 put the little settlement of Gorham firmly on the map.
Visitors from all over the East Coast and from Canada could now easily visit the remarkably scenic area, and tourism soon became an important source of revenue.
Today you can find out all about the pioneer days of the railway in North Hampshire when you visit the Railway Museum. The museum is housed in the original 1907 Gorham Station Building which was rescued and restored by the Gorham Historical Society. The museum contains a unique model railway constructed inside a boxcar and many other interesting exhibits.
