As early as 1849, South Groton (today's Ayer, MA), was ethusiastically proclaimed as "The Great Junction" and therefore since 1848 there has been a Passenger Rail Station at Depot Square. The grand 1848 Union Rail Station was demolished in 1895, to accomodate the beautiful "twin" Passenger Rail Station Buildings erected in 1896, complete with pleasingly landscaped station grounds and a Depot Square Fountain; they served proudly until their unfortunate demolition in 1967. Therefore for some 50-years the Commuter Rail Passenger experience at the point of departure and/or arrival at the Downtown Ayer Station has lost much of its once exceptionally accomodating qualities and comforts. However, a renaissance of the glory-days of passenger rail of the past at Ayer's Depot Square is "just around the bend" for our valued Downtown Ayer Passenger Rail Commuters.
