Additional Description: The Pinckney Train Station and Freight House
In 1883, Grand Trunk Western Railroad built a station in Pinckney. A freight house, seen just beyond the depot in this photograph, was constructed the following year.

After the station was demolished in 1947, the freight house took its place as depot until 1976, when the railroad abandoned the line and building. In 2009, a group of Pinckney High School students, worried about the future of the neglected building, raised funds to help fund the building's renovation.
