One hundred years ago, an electric trolley line ran between Albany, Valatie, Chatham, Stuyvesant Falls and Hudson. It carried as many as 1.4 million passengers annually.

One of the stops on the Albany/Hudson railroad line was the hamlet of North Chatham. Through great community effort over 11 years, the brick depot was reconstructed and restored.

The Route 32 station, located around the corner from the North Chatham Library [Route 203], was rededicated.

Most recently the building was the North Chatham Firehouse. Previously having served as trolley depot erected November 1900 until the line ceased operation 1929. 

The trolleys brought not only passengers, but the telegraph and electricity to North Chatham.

Electric Park [on Kinderhook Lake] may have been the largest electric amusement park between New York and Montreal. It was created to increase ridership on the trolley line.
