The railroad station in New Milford still stands today and is owned by the
town of New Milford. This close-up shows the station along with the old
freight building and the manually-operated crossing gate protecting Bridge
Street. |
A closer look at this map shows the round house and water tower that was
once located at the north end of the station. The hat factory and the
'flat iron' building can also been seen. |
From the looks of this map, parking on the green in New Milford was hard
to find in 1906. This is the southern portion of the green with the Town
Hall (A), old Post Office(B) and bandstand visible. |

The Bridgeport Wood Finishing Company was once a major industry in New
Milford. They had their own stop on the Housatonic Railroad (Still River)
for their employees and shipping needs. This view would be looking
southwest. Today, the foundation from this plant can be seen from the
Lover's Leap Bridge. |
Hat manufacturing was one of the major industries in the area during the
early 1900's. One of New Milford's hat shops was located on Housatonic
Avenue. The site is occupied by a masonry supply company. |
