SBLK Towings FP Ad.indd 1 3/5/07 11:03:03 AM Bridgeport Train Museum Brings Railroad History Into Today

Originally built in 1917 and idle for nearly 30 years, the Bridge- port Train Depot has been renovated into the Bridgeport Train Museum by the Bridgeport Area Historical Association. The museum’s Santa Fe style architecture is a testament to the area’s railroad history and houses local artifacts, railroad mem- orabilia and contains a historical research library as well as the Bridgeport Area Historical Association offices.

“The depot is beautiful with its Spanish style white stucco and tile roofing,” said Glenn Hill, curator of the museum. “When they searched for contracts to build the depot, the winning contrac- tor’s specialty happened to be this Spanish style. This vintage train depot is one of the few East of the Mississippi River.”

The depot, known as the N.C. and St. Louis Depot, officially opened in 1918 and served both passengers and freight. This depot was actually the third depot in the Bridgeport area. The first was built before the Civil War around 1854 near the river bridge, and the second built in the late 1800’s.

In 1968 the station hit yet another hurdle when passenger service at the Bridgeport Train Depot ended. The depot lay dormant until 1992, when CSX Corporation gave the deed of the Bridge- port Depot to the citizens of Bridgeport and the Bridgeport Area Historical Association. Restoration began immediately.

CSX also donated a CSX Caboose to be displayed at the museum.The Jackson County Commission rounded out the museum’s catalogue, when it donated the fully renovated Bridge- port ferry tug, THE CALVIN SMITH.

After being restored in 1992, the Bridgeport Depot restoration project was heavily damaged by fire. The 1999 fire, set by an arsonist, gutted the Spanish-style depot as it was com- pleting the nearly eight-year renovation. Fortunately, the Civil War and Native American artifacts had not yet been placed in the building.

“Since then, we have restored the part that was burned,” Hill said. “Now, we are fully functioning to serve school groups, tour groups and anyone else who wants to come and visit.”

During this time, Sanford Dole, who had married Anna Prentice Cate in 1873, had risen to prominence as one of the leading lawyers in Hawaii. Dole had long been a supporter of the Hawaiian monarchy; he believed that it represented the best form of government for the islands, but he also resented what he perceived as King Kalakaua’s abuse of power. By the time of his election to the legislature in 1884, Dole had already aligned himself with those who were pushing for reforms in the Hawaiian government. The Reform Party had been successful in ousting a corrupt minister in 1880, and its members, including Dole, continued their efforts to limit the power of the monarchy. Dole was reelected to the legislature in 1886 and helped lead a bloodless revolt the next year, forcing King Kalakaua to grant a

On June 15, the U.S. House of Representatives passed a resolution calling for the annexation of Hawaii, with the Senate passing the bill on July 6. President McKinley signed the bill into law the following day, officially making the Hawaiian Islands a U.S. Territory.

Dole was appointed to an advisory commission to work with Congress on matters of the future government of the territory. In 1900, President McKinley appointed Sanford Dole as the first Governor of the Territory of Hawaii. Dole served in that capacity until 1903, when he resigned to become U.S. District Judge for Hawaii. Dole was reelected in 1909 and served on the bench until his retirement in1915. Dole re- mained active in public service organizations until the end of his life. Sanford Ballard Dole, first and only President of the Republic of Hawaii, died on June 9, 1926, at the age of 82, having overseen the evolution of the islands from a constitutional monarchy to an independent republic to a U.S. Territory. Hawaii gained statehood in 1959. The “Polynesian Triangle” shows the most vast area of Polynesian influence in the Pacific Ocean.
