"However, back in the late 1880s, the Franklinville Railroad Station — originally located on County Route 538 behind the Franklinville fire house — was a busy transportation hub for passenger trains.... Coulbourn said the Franklinville Railroad Station was donated to Franklin Township in 2007 in memory of her parents Robert and Dora Albertson, by herself and her brothers Robert Jr., Stanley, David and James. The building has been at its current location, on the shores of Franklinville Lake, since that time, when a major refurbishing project began."
