28 May 2026, Brattleboro Vermont: On June 24, an Exhibit celebrating Vermont’s most-storied small town will be unveiled at the ribbon cutting for the new Amtrak station on Depot Street, directly across the tracks from the former station. Amtrak officials and local, regional and federal leaders will preside over a ceremony that will take place from 11:30 am to 1pm. Refreshments will be provided on site by Amtrak. Town leaders say the station opening and exhibit are part of a historic downtown waterfront revitalization.
“It is a great fit for us to highlight Brattleboro’s unique and rich literary history by including the beautiful, locally created Brattleboro Words Trail murals and maps as part of the design for the new Amtrak station.” Dr. David Handera, Amtrak Vice President of Stations, Facilities, Properties and Accessibility, said. The new station features Vermont’s first at-grade level boarding platform allowing passengers to walk directly onto the train without navigating stairs or steps.
