Wallace Station Historic District
About this property
Wallace Station is a small farming community located in Cumberland County, Nova Scotia, Canada. Wallace Station was established in 1887 after the Oxford & New Glasgow Railway built its line along the north shore of Nova Scotia from the Intercolonial Railway at Oxford Junction to Pictou. In the early 1890s, the ICR took over this line and in later years it was operated as CN Rail's Oxford Subdivision. CN abandoned passenger service through Wallace Station in 1960 and freight service in February 1986. The rails were lifted through the area by 1989.
