Built in Davison between 1890 and 1900, Davison Depot was a "flag stop" on the Grand Trunk Western Railroad Line. The depot was moved to Crossroads Village in 1976 as part of the United States Bicentennial.
It is now used as the station for the Huckleberry Railroad, a narrow gauge line that runs through the park.
We went to take a ride with Thomas the Tank Engine. There is also a miniature train, the Mott Lake Flyer for the little ones to ride.
