From the www.butlermuseumnj.org website:
"The former New York, Susquehanna and Western Railroad Station was built in 1888 to replace an 1872 station built by the Midland Railroad Company. After 78 years of service, the last passenger train departed from the Butler station in 1966. The station received a Morris County Historic Site Marker in recognition of its role as a transportation hub, spurring economic growth in the community. The marker was dedicated in September 1997. State recognition was awarded the building in 2001 and the station was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2002. It is one of the few remaining wooden structures of its kind."
