Though vacant and quiet now, this railroad station once connected Red Jacket to faraway cities like Chicago and Milwaukee. Tears of joy and the chatter of various languages filled the air at this bustling entry point for the thousands of immigrants to the Copper Country. When the trains unloaded, family members might be reunited after months or sometimes years of separation. The original building, built in 1897, was made of wood. A new building was commissioned in 1908 to replace the wooden structure with the current brick building.
