From the Harrisburg Register (visit link)
"A vistor to Stonefort's Railroad Depot Museum could be forgiven for thinking he or she had stepped out of a time machine into the village's railway heyday.

Old signs from railroad companies and businesses long gone adorn the walls, and various tools and machines hearken back to a simpler time when the railways and telegraphs connected the country.

For museum owner and curator Linda Blackman, it's a testament to preserving the history of her hometown.

Blackman, a retired Regional Office of Education superintendent, inherited the building after the passing of her parents, Virgil and Amy (Lewis) Blackman.

"My father acquired the building from the New York Central Railroad Co. in 1965," she said.

He intended to move his hardware store into the building, and added a pole structure to the building to contain his inventory and shop."
