From the mid 1800’s to the early 1900’s, the Central Square Station was the heart of the village of Central Square. The station was a main transportation site for coal, milk, and freight. Often the port of Oswego was the destination. In 1903, the original station was destroyed by fire, and rebuilt in 1909. The station was abandoned in 1957, although the rails are still used by the CSX railroad. Currently, the Central New York Chapter of the National Railway Historical Society is preserving the Central Square Station Museum.
