Truman, speaking from a train car, congratulated the people of Hamilton for their World War II industrial military production?

The CSX train depot on Martin Luther King Boulevard is in danger of being demolished if we can’t move it to another location. CSX has gifted the historic station to the city but only if we can move it before they are ready to tear it down in April of 2022. Council is voting on whether to spend the money to move it down the street to a location owned by the city and they need to hear from those of us who support the move before the May 26 City Council Meeting. Mayor Pat Moeller supports the move as well as our city manager, Historic Hamilton Inc., and CHAPS (Citizens for Historic and Preservation Services), but it all comes down to a vote by council.

As a native of Hamilton I an very happy and excited to see that the station will be saved and relocated a short distance from it’s original location. It will be a fantastic addition to the thriving downtown Hamilton business district.
Thank you to the Mayor, the City Manager and City Council for having the vision to save this structure that has been a fixture in Hamilton since the 1850’s.
Thanks for your comments Jay, I couldn’t agree with you more!
