The Potter Place Railroad Station in Andover, NH was built in 1874 by the Northern Railroad on the line running from Boston to Montreal. In 1890 the line was taken over by the Boston & Maine Railroad. Today this Victorian building is listed on the National Registry of Historic Places

Passenger trains served Potter Place into 1962. Freight shipments continued into the late 60s. The station was subsequently sold by the B&M and in l983 Mr. & Mrs. Charles Taylor of Wilmot donated the property to the Andover Historical Society. The station now serves as its museum. Today the museum contains a large collection of railroad artifacts, including an authentically furnished station master's office.

A 1904 Rutland caboose and 1912 general store located across the street are also owned by the society and open for visitors. The general store is furnished with many period artifacts. The home site and grave of famous 19th century black magician Richard Potter (for whom the village is named) are located nearby on society property.

The station is located on Depot St. at the west end of Andover, just off the intersection of Routes 4 & 11. The Museum is open Saturdays 10-3 pm and Sundays 1-3 pm. from late May to early October. Donations are appreciated.
