The Original Station
The original station was built in the village of Yarmouth Port when the Cape Cod Railroad extended its line from Sandwich to Hyannis in 1854. This station burned to the ground in a spectacular fire on November 17, 1878.
The Second Station
The Old Colony Railroad built a new station in the Town of Yarmouth in 1878 at the junction where the Hyannis branch turns to the south towards Hyannis and the former main line continued east to Provincetown. This station, shown in the image within this entry, burned down in 1941.
The Last Station
In 1941 the New York, New Haven, and Hartford Railroad built a new brick station in the same location as the previous station. This station was torn down around 1975 to make room for the Christmas Tree Shops' first warehouse.
