Originally constructed by the Grand Trunk Railway (GTR) to connect Toronto and Hamilton, the Burlington Junction Station played a significant role in the city of Burlington's transportation history for more than 80 years. 
‍
As train travel dwindled over time, the station eventually ceased operations in 1988 and fell into a state of disrepair, waiting for a new purpose to be discovered.

For over a decade, the Friends of Freeman Station have been dedicated to meticulously restore the station to its original state, utilizing authentic materials and techniques from the period of its original construction.

Today, Freeman Station stands proudly as a museum and public space, providing  Burlington with an opportunity to experience and appreciate a significant piece of its history.
