Abstract:

Scheduled for demolition in the 1970s, the Salisbury Railroad Station was saved when local citizens purchased it. However, they lacked funds to restore the station, which was built in 1907 and at one time handled forty-four trains a day. In 1989, the Historic Salisbury Foundation began a $2 million fund-raising campaign. To date, $1.5 has been raised, and the first phase of restoration is complete.
