Once located on the now defunct Worcester, Nashua and Portland branch of the Boston and Maine Railroad, the Hudson Station is one of the few remaining stations on this route in existence. It was active from the late 1840s to the late 1930s, when at this time the B&M started decommissioning the WN&P line. The station was originally located behind the Watannick Grange, where the track ran between Greeley Street and Windham Road, at one time the quite busy Hudson Center. It has since been moved to a site in Benson Park, formerly Benson's Animal Farm, on Kimball Hill Road, which is about a quarter-mile south from it's original location. It is presently preserved in storage, resting on blocks and I-beams, waiting restoration and future use at the park.
