The original station

The Original Station - ca. 1900

The original station was built by the Cape Cod Branch Railroad in the mid-1800s. It was in active use until it was replaced by a new station in 1911.

The Second Station

The New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad built a new brick station building in Sagamore in 1911 based on an architectural design that was similar to the Buzzards Bay and West Barnstable stations, both of which stand to this day.[1]

All that remains of the former Sagamore station is its foundation.
