History defines where we come from and the many influences that have affected us. Our past links us to the places and people that have moulded us into the present. -Unknown
West Lincoln Historical Society acquired the 1903 TH&B (Toronto, Hamilton, & Buffalo) Train Station in 1993. It was then restored by the skilled and dedicated volunteers of the West Lincoln Historical Society. This was accomplished by using the profits from their published book “West Lincoln Our Links With The Past”, also generous donations from local organizations, businesses and individuals.
The Smithville Train Station has been restored to its original beauty and has been designated as a historical building. It is now used as a research centre called the West Lincoln Archives with many family histories, and old records.
The Archives are open to the public two days a week Tuesdays and Wednesdays from 10 am to 4 pm.
